v0.16.0

Export a Markdown document as a PDF.

• Export as PDF now works for Markdown documents too: your notes, treatments, outlines and pitch documents. Find it in the Export menu, the palette, and the desktop app's File menu.
• A clean, readable page: 1-inch margins, Inter Tight for the text and Courier Prime for code. It covers headings, bold and italic, lists (nested and numbered), quotes with a bar in the margin, code blocks, and page numbers when there's more than one page.
• Links stay links. Web and email links can be clicked in the PDF; anything else prints as plain text.
• A heading never ends a page. Paragraphs split across pages keep at least two lines on each side.
• US Letter or A4: choose in Settings under Paper for Markdown PDFs. Scripts keep their template's paper.
• It works offline, like the rest of Drafter.
• Characters the fonts can't print show as ?, and the export message names them, so nothing changes silently.

A progress bar for long exports. Any export that takes a moment, scripts included, shows a bar with a percentage, or a moving bar while a step can't count. Screen readers hear the start, each quarter, and the finish.

Fixed

• The Markdown Preview of a long document is worked out in the background again, so typing stays smooth.
• Exporting a second script while one is still exporting now gives you that script's own file.
• A document nested too deeply to preview or lay out now says so plainly instead of failing.
