Why are remote resources disabled?

Remote resource fetching is disabled to protect privacy and prevent external network calls during rendering. Only content within or referenced locally by your Markdown file is included. Processing is entirely local.

Can I customize the PDF styling?

You can configure page size and margins to suit your needs. The output uses a clean, professional default style. All rendering happens on your self-hosted SnapOtter server.

Does this handle code syntax highlighting?

Code blocks are rendered with monospace formatting in the PDF output. Processing runs entirely on your own infrastructure with no cloud services involved.
