GitBook PDF build output is not satisfactory

Output of gitbook-pdfgen is satisfactory. This is potentially a Calibre related issue.

I see a white background in a PDF export when using the sunlight highlighter.
Can I do something about it?

Just checked the epub output in https://www.gitbook.com/book/lwchkg/tests-of-sunlight-highlighter/details. The HTML there is indeed STRANGE (has class for plaintext but it is actually javascript). The only possibility is the intervention of Calibre, which is sadly out of the possibility to fix.

The default theme, however, appears less bad.

BTW, if all you want is some PDF output, why not to try https://www.npmjs.com/package/gitbook-pdfgen? The output of that CLI utility appears to be much nicer.

Anyway, if you're interested in gitbook-pdfgen, check https://github.com/lwchkg/vbnet_intro_book/tree/master/vbnet_intro_part2a to know how to customize the content page.

I gave it a try and noticed that the setting pdf.fontSize does not seem to be followed:

Any idea on that?

There is no mechanism to pass any font size to wkhtmltopdf by now. If you want such mechanism I could write it later this week. BTW, if you like try to extract the custom TOC from my vbnet example.
