This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Project Overview

Kotlin command-line tool that converts Markdown files to PDF. Uses CommonMark for Markdown parsing (with GFM table support) and iText for HTML-to-PDF conversion.

Build & Run Commands

# Build (Windows - this is a Windows project)
gradlew.bat build

# Run the converter (reads file.md, outputs file.pdf)
gradlew.bat run

No test suite exists. The project is validated manually using test markdown files (file.md, file-ReplicaIsland.md, file-simpletable.md, file-markdown-megatest.md).

Architecture

Single-file application: src/main/kotlin/Main.kt (package com.jimandreas)

Processing pipeline:

  1. Read input .md file
  2. Parse with CommonMark + GFM tables extension
  3. Render to HTML
  4. Wrap HTML with CSS styling (Arial font, table borders)
  5. Convert HTML to PDF via iText HtmlConverter
