Export to PDF and printing
Save any document as a themed PDF, print it, and expand wide tables to full screen.
- New: Export as PDF (⌘P) — the PDF keeps your document theme and flows as one continuous page instead of breaking mid-content.
- New: Native printing from the File menu, using the same themed layout.
- New: Expand wide tables to full screen, the same way Mermaid diagrams already worked.
- Fixed: Task lists (- [ ]) now render on a single line instead of pushing the text below the checkbox.
