bug: not all css applied (background-color)

[Prowluan]

I'm trying to generate a pdf using the config file, with a css file, but not all CSS is applied. It does not generate an error on the config.

• version (md-to-pdf -v): 2.7.1
• platform (Unix, macOS, Windows): windows
• node version: v8.12.0

When I generate a pdf using config, which contains header and footer content and a css file, the generated pdf does not have all css applied. Below I have applied 2 screenshots; one containing how it should look (this does not use a config file, using a css file), and one how it looks with the config file, using a css file.

My config file looks like this:

{
"pdf_options": {
"format": "A4",
"margin": "20mm",
"displayHeaderFooter": false
},
"stylesheet": "style.css"
}

Any idea why the css is not applied as I want it to?

Hey, sorry for the late reply. I assume that the problem is that you don't have "printBackground": true set in your pdf options... could you try that and let me know if it worked? Thanks!

Works like a charm, thanks!

I actually detected a bug regarding this... if you use the frontmatter for the config, then printBackground will be set to true by default, even if you provide your own pdf_options. However the behavior isn't the same if you use the config file instead. This has been fixed in v3 which I hope to release soon.
