While we are on the topic of generating output from markdown, anyone know of a great tool for generating good looking (GitHub-Flavored) PDF/Word documents from markdown? Hyperlinks should be clickable too.

I know of markdown2pdf [1] but the output can sometimes come out looking bland.

Pandoc?

Tried pandoc before but I had trouble with missing dependencies (on Windows). When I tried it on Linux the output didn't look great.

Ideally, would love something that mimicked GitHub Flavored Markdown in output.

I use MacDown[1], a macOS open source visual Markdown editor. You can select from several styles, toggle features such as GitHub-flavored on and off, and then save as PDF. I'm not sure about its scriptability from the command line.

Thanks for the suggestion but I use Windows and Linux at the moment.
