Been using Markdown using Mou on the Mac alot recently, and would really like to use it in my technical writing - it is much easier than messing around with .doc formats.
The question is what is the best way to convert to a .doc format or a .pdf, i will need elements like repeating headers / footers, but other than that i just need the HTML / CSS to break sensibly accross pages.
Actually i guess what i am asking - is how do i print my styled Markdown output in a sensible fashion to .doc / .pdf in A4 or standard paper sizing.

Usage. Just focus the window containing your markdown file and use the convert command ( Packages > Markdown to PDF > Convert ) or with the following shortcut ctrl-alt-e . The output PDF will be styled similar to the markdown on github.com .
CSS can be written directly into individual Markdown files but they are often created as separate files. If you have a desired stylesheet, it can can be linked to in individual documents.
Generating PDF from Markdown with Pandoc There are actually two steps involved in converting a Markdown file to a PDF file: The Markdown source file is converted to a LaTeX source file. Pandoc invokes the pdflatex or xelatex or other TeX command and converts the . tex source file to a PDF file.
To convert Markdown to HTML using Typora, click File —> Export —> HTML. Then save the file in your preferred location. The image below shows that the HTML output looks exactly as how the Markdown is displayed inside Typora.
You can also generate HTML from Markdown and convert it to .pdf or .xls format using DocRaptor. DocRaptor also handles CSS better than competitors do.

I'm trying this for technical docs as well. The best tool I found to generate PDFs is gimli. In our environment:
Works a treat so far.
