For a company, we need a formal document to cooperators. Since Gitea has supported markdown to HTML, then provide a PDF download or some PDF settings is a good idea. Now we can covert Markdown to HTML and we can covert HTML to PDF via https://github.com/jung-kurt/gofpdf

Personally I'd just have a print-CSS and use the browsers print-facility :/ (which we'd to use need anyhow...)

@jonasfranz is there any progress on this? We document a lot in Markdown format and it would be awesome to be able to print a Markdown file from Gitea to PDF. Doesn't need to be a PDF export IMHO, a simple print CSS which leverages the browsers print-facility would be enough as @bkcsoft suggested....

I think this feature don't fit the core functionality of Gitea and makes it too complex.

There are other tools for that, like pandoc.

You could create a build script for the project that generates PDFs for every file.
