Markdown to PDF Converter

This project is a full-stack application that converts Markdown text into a PDF document. It features a live-updating editor and uses Puppeteer on the backend for high-quality PDF generation.

This is a solution for the "Markdown to PDF" coding challenge by John Crickett from codingchallenges.fyi.

Features

• Live Markdown Preview: See your rendered HTML as you type.
• PDF Generation: Convert your markdown into a previewable PDF in a new tab.
• Syntax Highlighting: Code blocks are styled using Prism.js, matching the frontend preview in the final PDF.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: Angular, Angular Material
• Backend: NestJS, Puppeteer, marked.js, Prism.js
