Well, if you export in PDF through Obsidian the highlighted text is rendered correctly but not if you use Pandoc. I do not export in PDF through Obsidian because then I would be bound to the style of the active theme, namely, I would see the PDF file with a black background (I use the Dark Mode), font size, spacing, margins, etc. of Obsidian's active theme.
Good question! Thanks for reminding me of this. But exporting to PDF in Obsidian with highlights should work automatically, no?On Tuesday, June 21, 2022 at 3:21:03 p.m. UTC+2 Emiliano wrote:Any news about this feature for Pandoc?
