Export formats

Different export formats are styled differently based on their nature. For example, if you export your document to markdown, text will have no styles applied from your template as markdown does not support fancy text styling.

On whichever export format it's possible and it makes sense, your selected templates look & feel will be applied to the final document, regardless of the export format. But please be aware of the differences.

Here is the list of the export formats howt.io currently supports:
PDF
Generate a PDF document with customizable page formats and page orientation. Full styles applied.
HTML
Generate a single HTML document with inline images for easy transportability. Full styles applied.
JPG Generate a JPG image of the whole document
