## Markdown to PDF questions

### Is depapel private when I convert Markdown to PDF?

Conversion runs on the depapel server in memory. depapel does not store or log
submitted document content after conversion.

### How is depapel different from browser Print to PDF?

Browser Print is useful for quick copies, but depapel uses a Markdown document
pipeline with themes, syntax highlighting, Git file imports, page breaks, page
numbers, Mermaid diagrams, and DOCX export from the same source.

### Does the Markdown to PDF converter support code, tables, images, and Mermaid?

Yes. depapel supports GitHub-flavored Markdown, including tables, task lists,
links, images, fenced code blocks with syntax highlighting, and Mermaid diagrams
rendered into the output.

### Can I control page breaks and page numbers?

Yes. Use the standalone `<depapel-page-break/>` directive for a forced page break
and `<depapel-page-numbering/>` to opt into automatic page numbers.

### Can the same Markdown become a Word document, email draft, LinkedIn post, or WhatsApp message?

Yes. The same Markdown source can be exported as PDF or DOCX in the web editor,
then switched into an email-ready HTML preview with plain-text fallback, a
LinkedIn-ready feed-post preview, or a WhatsApp-friendly plain-text preview
when the output needs to be pasted instead of downloaded as a document.
