What happens to your file
pandoc parses the MD into its own document model and writes EPUB from it. Because it works on structure — headings, lists, emphasis, links — rather than on appearance, the output is a real EPUB document rather than a screenshot of one.
Settings this conversion runs with
| Engine | pandoc |
|---|---|
| Works on | Document structure, not page appearance |
What changes
- Structure survives; precise visual styling does not. Custom CSS, exact fonts, and hand-tuned spacing are re-expressed in the target format's own conventions.
- If the document uses a font the server does not have, a substitution is picked before rendering — a close match, not the original. Line breaks and page counts can shift as a result, which is why it is worth opening an important file before sending it on.
