borb-markdown-to-pdf

borb-markdown-to-pdf converts Markdown documents directly into high-quality PDFs using borb’s layout and rendering engine. It is designed for developers who want full control over document structure and styling without leaving the Python ecosystem.

It fits naturally into automated pipelines, making it ideal for documentation, reports, and generated content where Markdown is the source of truth.
