THE PROBLEM

A PDF should look intentional, not merely printed.

Basic Markdown-to-PDF tools often produce plain pages with generic fonts, awkward spacing and broken tables. Unmarkdown gives the document a professional standard first, then exports the styled preview directly to PDF without sending the source to a backend.

WORKING EXAMPLE

Use headings, quotes, lists and tables in the source. The document studio shows the selected page size and visual style before you download the PDF.

READY FOR ANY AI CHATMarkdown output
Using only the source material and requirements I provide, create the complete document as raw GitHub-Flavored Markdown (.md). Do not generate, attach, or encode a DOCX/PDF; use the response budget for accurate, useful content.

OUTPUT CONTRACT
- Return only the finished Markdown document: no preamble, commentary, or code fence around the whole response.
- Use exactly one `#` H1 for the document title, then sequential `##` and `###` headings without skipping levels.
- Keep paragraphs concise, sections complete, terminology consistent, and the hierarchy easy to scan.
- Never invent facts, metrics, quotations, requirements, URLs, or citations. Mark missing inputs as `[TBD: specific information needed]`.
- Do not add HTML, manual page numbers, a manually typed table of contents, base64 data, or decorative filler. Unmarkdown generates pagination and the table of contents from the heading structure.

MARKDOWN TOOLKIT — use each feature only when it improves the document
- `**bold**` for labels or key terms, `_italic_` for light emphasis, and `~~strikethrough~~` only for explicit revisions.
- Unordered `-` lists, ordered `1.` steps, and `- [ ]` task lists for actions or review checklists.
- `> blockquotes` for warnings, decisions, constraints, or important callouts.
- GFM tables with a header and separator row; keep every row the same width and keep cells concise.
- Fenced code blocks with a language tag such as `json`, `yaml`, `bash`, `typescript`, or `sql`; never use a fence around the whole document.
- Mermaid diagrams in a fenced `mermaid` block when a flow, sequence, architecture, state, or dependency diagram adds real value.
- Descriptive links as `[label](https://example.com)` and `---` rules only between major document parts.
- Prepare a separate alphabetical Index page by marking important terms at their first relevant mention with `[[index: Term]]`. Use `[[index: Primary term: Subentry]]` for a nested entry. Do not type an Index heading, page numbers, or the index list yourself; Unmarkdown generates the final Index page and page references during Word export.
- Escape Markdown control characters when they are meant to appear literally.

DOCUMENT STANDARD
Write polished long-form editorial content with a strong narrative and clean reading rhythm.
- Use one compelling headline, an optional italic deck, a purposeful opening, descriptive section headings, concrete examples, and a memorable conclusion.
- Use `> blockquotes` only for genuine quotations or pull quotes, links for supplied sources, and a short Key Takeaways list when useful.
- Do not fabricate quotes, people, studies, or sources; mark research gaps as `[TBD: source or fact check]`.
- Avoid repetitive headings, generic transitions, keyword stuffing, and excessive lists.

FINAL QUALITY CHECK
- Verify heading order, table column counts, list indentation, code-fence pairing, requirement/decision IDs, and internal consistency.
- Remove empty sections and generic filler. Preserve `[TBD: ...]` markers instead of guessing.
- End with the final document content, ready to save directly as a `.md` file and convert in unmarkdown.in.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

Will the PDF match the preview?+

The PDF is generated from the styled document preview using the selected page size, margins, colours and typography.

Can I export Mermaid diagrams?+

Yes. Mermaid flowcharts can be rendered in the preview and included in the exported document.

Do I need to install software?+

No. The converter runs in a modern browser and downloads the finished PDF.
