HTML in Markdown to PDF: Accordions, Keyboard Tags & Media
CommonMark allows raw HTML inside Markdown. For HTML in Markdown to PDF, PrintifyMarkdown styles GFM/Typora-friendly tags—details/summary, kbd, mark, figures, audio, and iframes—and adapts them for paper (accordions open; embeds become URL cards). See source and PDF together.

How to html in markdown to pdf
- Embed safe HTML tags directly in your
.md(avoid blank lines that split HTML blocks) - Use
<details>for optional sections—they expand automatically in the PDF - Compile with PrintifyMarkdown; download media URL cards when playback is not available on paper
Print tips
- Prefer
httpsimage/media URLs the Chromium pipeline can fetch - Do not rely on
<script>or forms—those are not document features - Iframes print as titled link cards because live embeds do not capture reliably to PDF
FAQ
Which HTML tags work in Markdown PDF export?
details/summary, kbd, mark/sub/sup/ins/del/abbr, figure/figcaption, img/picture, audio/video, and iframe (as link cards), among other safe tags.
Why is accordion content visible in the PDF?
Collapsed details would hide text on paper, so the compiler forces details open before printing.
Can YouTube iframes play in the PDF?
No. The PDF shows a titled link card pointing at the embed URL.
