Managing markdown-it plugins

The usage of a markdown-it plugin inside a document can be decleared by using

[!use]: plugin1, plugin2, plugin3

The plugin names are listed in the following table. Basically it is just the package name with the markdown-it removed:

module	import name
markdown-it-footnote	footnote
markdown-it-anchor	anchor
markdown-it-mark	mark
markdown-it-sub	sub
markdown-it-attrs	attrs
markdown-it-abbr	abbr
markdown-it-checkbox	checkbox
markdown-it-imsize	imsize
markdown-it-highlightjs	highlightjs
markdown-it-toc-done-right	toc-done-right
markdown-it-smartarrows	smartarrows
markdown-it-plantuml	plantuml
markdown-it-mathjax	mathjax
markdown-it-math	math
markdown-it-div	div

For example you can declare the use of markdown-it-emoji the following:

[!use]: emoji

Pages

You can manage the pages that are exported to the pdf. A new page can be started with:

[!newpage]

Note that this automatically includes markdown-it-div in your project. If you want to declare one page specifically, you need to declare the use of markdown-it-div ([!use]: div). Then you pages can be created like this:

::: page
Your page's content.
Warning: be careful not to put too much content in this environment
because it will be rendered as only ONE page in the pdf output.
:::

Stylesheets

You can include your own stylesheet. It is applied after the default style. The stylesheets are applied in the order they are declared.

[!stylesheet]: path/to/style.css

Other stuff

Images and stylesheets are included within the html file. All image urls are converted into base64 urls.
