I am currently working with GitHub's wiki and I have markdown pages in the wiki that I would like to convert to PDF files. I have a script that uses Kramdown, bash/sed/grep and custom HTML tags for processing the .md file downloaded directly from GitHub and gettting the final PDF through LaTeX.

The only problem I do not really have a solution for is the scaling of images. I am now trying to face it in the following way:

  1. I assume that all images are r = 150dpi.
  2. I get the dimensions in pixels (w,h).
  3. I calculate the width of the image in inches, W = w / r
  4. I set the width of the image "\includegraphics[widht=Win]"

Most of images work, but the following two problems appear:

  1. If the resolution of the image changes, it does not work.
  2. Sometimes, very long blank gaps appear in between text and images.

Is there a simpler solution to this?

You could try pandoc, which handles the images scaling to some extent, also saving you from writing those bash scripts.

There is also an online service (http://www.cocowrite.com) that translates your markdown file to PDF without requiring you installing all sorts of tools and libraries. Maybe worth having a look.
