gulp-markdown-pdf's Issues

File saves to the input file (extension doesn't change)

After this commit 17a4a5e output file saves to the input file (extname was ignored).

cssPath relative root

According to the markdown-pdf docs, cssPath is relative to the html5bp root. This is fine for markdown-pdf module, but in gulp-markdown-pdf it becomes messy:

gulp.task('pdf', function() {
  return gulp.src('index.md')
    .pipe(markdownpdf({
      cssPath: '../../../../../css/main.css'
    }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./'));
});

It would be nice if cssPath was relative to the project root.

Images don't appear in PDF

Hello.
Images don't appear in the PDF.
I found a work around by changing the links to the images from relative to absolute but that means that I can move my markdown documents to another machine.
It was suggested to use preProcessHtml option to prefix a full path to a relative image src.
I would really appreciate if you could provide some example code for the gulp file so I could make that happen.
Thanks for making great software and giving it away for free.
Best wishes,
Tony

Need help using gulp-markdown-pdf with highlight.js

I have some coding in my markdown

var hello = 'Hello World';
function sayHello() {
    console.log(hello);
}

How do I use it with highlight.js so this coding can be marked as <pre><code class="javascript">...</code></pre> in the html process before transforming into pdf

I have a css file for highlight style but don't understand about the markdown to html transforming process

gulp.task('pdf', function() {
gulp.src(paths.src)
    .pipe(markdownPdf({
        cwd: __dirname,
        cssPath: 'css/markdownpad.css',
        highlightCssPath: 'css/github.css',
    }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest(paths.dest));
});

Please guide
Thanks
