TOC extension not working on Convert Markdown to PDF

[ezequias]

I can't see links working on a generated pdf from markdown to pdf extension. TOC extension is working on default markdown preview on VSCode.

• VSCode Version: 1.15.1
• OS Version: Windows 10

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Write a nice markdown text (with many #, ## and ###)
2. Enable TOC on Markdown (with Markdown TOC extension)
3. Convert Markdown to PDF (with Markdown to PDF extension)

If you have any plans to solve this reporting please tell me.

Hello

I convert md to html file with Markdown PDF then trace html code.

I see the tag <h1-6> doesn't has ID attribute. So Anchors can't work.

Could you keep the ID attribute of <h1-6> tag ?

Thanks.

@dio833 I didn't understand you. How did you convert md to html with Markdown PDF? Is it another extension? All my attributes are from h1 to h6 but I confess it has some spaces on links generated.

Would be nice if the extension only could create a hyperlink only about the first word of the markdown ID.

@ezequias
>user setting open youre user setting then find "markdown-pdf.type".

You can choose output format. such as "markdown-pdf.type": "html",.

In HTML source , all h1~h6 tags miss ID attribute. So Markdown TOC can't work well here.

You can add id into h1~h6 tags manually . or maybe @yzane can fix this issue.

@dio833 nice tip. I like it! ;)

This is related to issue #6

As I see, using ID attributes is not enough to fix issue: phantomjs doesn't work well with internal links: ariya/phantomjs/issues/13959

I pre-released Markdown PDF ver1.0.0 which replaced pdf converter with puppeteer instead of html-pdf.
Please download from here and try.
