md2pdf's Issues

Converted documents gets background colour?

I noticed today that when I convert documents I get a background colour as well. Is this a bug or feature?

I'm using the version 0.0.3.r0.gac9bce4-1 from AUR.

Not working with python3.8

Error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/md2pdf", line 5, in <module>
    from markdown2pdf import main
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/markdown2pdf/__init__.py", line 20
    print css_file
          ^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print(css_file)?

Failed to load about:blank

I get the following when running md2pdf [1].
It also does not include an image specified in the md [2].

$ md2pdf -c documents/stylesheets/markdown.css --keep-html -o out.pdf in.md

md2pdf can't convert tables

When I convert this text (using the command python -m md2pdf Mattenheter.md):

| Produkt | 1dl, ca gram | 1msk, ca gram | 1 tsk, ca gram | 1 liter, ca gram |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vetemjöl | 60 gram | 9 gram | 3 gram | 575-625 gram | 
| Smör (fast) | 95 gram | 15 gram | 5 gram | - |

I get this:
