I went through a similar quest recently and I was a bit disappointed there isn't an easy way to convert markdown to pdf (without going through html and puppeteer). It sounds easy, right? I still get flashbacks of having to write a program on paper that outputs justified text, so I won't even attempt it...
The past week, I've implemented a Markdig renderer that outputs / renders into a Migradoc document, which can be converted to PDF. For the limited used case it works quite well and I'm currently looking into open sourcing it with some other MigraDoc related stuff under MIT.
Justified text isn't exactly a standard Markdown feature though. I guess Markdown converters are in general not easy, since there are so many dialects and at best people just mix in pure HTML, requiring a HTML renderer as well.
Anyways, if you're interested in the Markdig to MigraDoc renderer, let me know.
Sure, that would be more than enough for what I need! Thanks!
