Why?
There are already a plethora of ways to generate PDFs, including LaTeX, headless browsers, or libreoffice. However, all of these methods pull in massive dependencies, and can be difficult to set up correctly.
By comparison, this program relies on only a few (direct) dependencies, and can be compiled into a single executable file.
The goal of this program is to compile markdown to pdf, without stepping through dependency hell.
