The guide itself is great.

But I really dislike these markdown books used by many rust projects. I wish they just had an option to download it as a PDF, so that I could archive them. The printing button really isn't good enough for that. I mean if everything is already neatly renderd to HTML like that, how hard could it realistically be to also create a good looking PDF version...

Just wondering, what value do you get out of this? I used to like having a hardcopy of these kinds of things, especially when I used to have a much smaller monitor.

But these subjects evolve so fast, that having a bunch of .deadtrees lying around just become a nuisance.

If all I want is some form of archive to look back on later, a bunch of .md files seems perfect.

		Render to pdf or ebook to read from an ereader, at least that's what I prefer. I use Instapaper to quickly snag articles while browsing then later use my kobo to sit and read through them.

Good looking typesetting from markdown is surprisingly hard. Played with it a while myself, and it's really not fun.

.... is what I was going to say until I went and hit the print button and 10% of the text was missing and everything was right aligned in the top right corner.

Yikes. You may find it worthwhile to clone the repo, iterate over it with pandoc to make A Big HTML File and then use your browsers print feature or pandocs converter. That's about as good as you'll get without a lot of pain ime.

If you hide the left sidebar, and then print, then it is aligned correctly. Each H1 is on a separate page, which is certainly a choice, but on cursory inspection, it would seem as if all the content is there.

		Ah, good catch. At work so didn't play with it too much. Tbh, would probably still recommend rendering it with pandoc because the h1's being split that way does annoy me, but at least it gets the content right.

Not a 100% perfect solution, but you can click the little printer icon in the top right corner and then print to PDF from your browser.

		Thank you for mentioning it. I think you got downvoted because I had already mentioned that in my comment. The PDF looks unreadable to my on this specific page as the layout is messed up.
