Ah, yeah, I need a better message about images. They work fine if they're at a fully qualified URL.
The final output is indeed tweakable and there are 4 totally different templates to choose from.
I always encourage people to go with whatever system works best for them. I'm glad you have something that you like. :)
I got an "Oh no! We hit a snag processing your report. Markdown help." error without telling me what was wrong with the file. Seems like images break it.
For making these kinds of PDF I currently do this: 1. Write version controlled rst/markdown/creole. 2. Convert to HTML with a small script / command line tool (which also lets me do pre- and post-processing, like adding CSS). 3. Use chrome's print dialog to save the page as a PDF. This works pretty well for me.
