• MathJax Support: Automatically renders complex mathematical equations ($x^2$ and $$y=mx+b$$) written in your Markdown files.
• Syntax Highlighting: Formats your source code neatly into fenced code blocks.
• Smart Filtering: Automatically ignores itself, your README.md, and common junk folders (like node_modules, venv, and .git).
• Alphabetical Sorting: Groups and sorts your files logically by directory and filename.
• Print-Optimized CSS: Ensures code blocks aren't awkwardly split across multiple pages when printing to PDF.
