Questions

How much Markdown is supported?
The common structural parts: headings from # to ######, bullet and numbered lists, blockquotes, horizontal rules, and bold and italic within a line. Tables, images, footnotes and embedded HTML are not supported, and are shown as the literal text you typed rather than silently dropped.
Which characters can it render?
The standard PDF fonts cover Latin text including accented letters, along with common punctuation and symbols. Characters outside that set — other alphabets, emoji — cannot be drawn without embedding a font, so the tool tells you which characters it had to replace instead of writing them as blanks.
Can I choose a font?
Helvetica, Times and Courier — the fonts every PDF reader is required to provide. Using them keeps the file a few kilobytes rather than embedding a megabyte of font data.
