Introduces a new download menu in the header, allowing users to export the rendered Markdown content. This commit: - Adds a "Download" button with a dropdown menu for export options. - Integrates jsPDF and html2canvas libraries to enable PDF generation from the live preview content. - Includes Font Awesome for the download icon. - Adds a placeholder link for future DOC download functionality. - Updates package dependencies to include html2canvas and its sub-dependencies.
Updated the text color for links within dropdown menus from white (`#fff`) to dark gray (`#333`). This change enhances readability, especially when the dropdown background is light. The addition of `!important` ensures the new color is applied consistently, overriding any conflicting styles.
Refactor the document export mechanism, introducing an "Export as HTML" option and renaming existing "Download" options to "Export". This commit removes the `html2canvas` dependency and its related sub-dependencies, streamlining the project's build. The direct CDN link for `jspdf` was also removed from `index.html`, implying a shift to a bundled version or an alternative PDF generation method. Cache busting versions in `index.html` were updated to reflect these changes.
This commit introduces dedicated print styles to enhance the user experience when printing content directly from the browser or exporting to PDF. Changes include: * Added a comprehensive `@media print` block to `public/css/style.css`. These styles ensure that only the markdown content is visible, UI elements are hidden, and the content is properly paginated and formatted for print. * Updated `src/export.js` to load `public/css/style.css` with `media="print"` instead of a separate `print.css` file. This consolidates print-specific styles into the main stylesheet, simplifying maintenance. These changes provide a cleaner, more readable output for printed documents and PDF exports.
Refactor the `exportAsPDF` function to generate PDF content using Blob URLs. This change improves the reliability and security of the export process by avoiding direct `document.write` operations in the new print window. Additionally, this commit introduces specific print media styles directly into the generated HTML. These styles ensure consistent page margins, proper content padding, and basic table formatting, leading to a more professional and readable PDF output. The print window now automatically closes after printing, and Blob URLs are revoked for resource cleanup.
