• Full markdown -- headers, lists, tables, code blocks, blockquotes, images, task lists
• Extended syntax -- ==highlight==, ^super^, ~sub~, ~~strike~~
• Light & dark themes -- shadcn/ui zinc palette
• Smart page breaks -- headings stay with their content, no orphans
• Remote images fetched concurrently
• Async I/O with optional uvloop
• Single command, agent-friendly -- no browser, no LaTeX, no config

Most messaging apps (Slack, Discord, Teams, WhatsApp, email) don't render markdown. markpdf turns it into a polished PDF -- no browser, no LaTeX, no config.
