Convert Markdown into PDF through an explicit Rust pipeline. Minimal and Typst backends, configurable themes, math & mermaid support.
Convert Markdown into PDF through an explicit Rust pipeline. Minimal and Typst backends, configurable themes, math & mermaid support.
A Rust library that gives you full control over Markdown-to-PDF conversion — from parsing to rendering.
Choose between a lightweight Minimal renderer (zero system dependencies) or the powerful Typst backend for professional typesetting with fonts, layouts, and math.
Built-in themes (Professional, Engineering, Scientific Article, Invoice, Informational) plus full JSON overrides for fonts, colors, and sizes.
GFM math ($...$, $$...$$) with TeX-subset conversion for real Typst rendering. Rust-native Mermaid diagram subset — no Node, no npm.
Chain .from_text() → .to_file() → .with_theme() → .convert(). Everything is type-safe and composable.
No panicking .expect() in production. Paths sanitized. Secrets scanned before every release. Built with a layered architecture (api → pipeline → core → adapters).
Free for personal and commercial use. Contributions welcome! Fork, improve, and submit a PR on GitHub.
