Convert Markdown to PDF only using browser

I have the same thing as dirty Python script[1]. Handy to send notes or reports to clients as "nice" PDF.

One could customize it to support additional markdown features, like footnotes, tables. To run:

$ md2pdf some-markdown.md # gives some-markdown.pdf

You can also pass a CSS sheet with some custom fonts and colors. (sample included with GIST)

$ export MD2PDF_CSS=style.css md2pdf myfile.md

I also prefer local solutions, try e.g.

    aptitude show python-markdown

It might feel cool just maximize use of your browser, but I shy from putting this kind of (possibly confidential) content via internet based solutions/services.
