Issues with E-paper readers

[shafr]

Hello, I'm using mdpdf to generate pdf's. Reading on PC/mobile phone is ok, but when I upload books to e-ink readers, i'm getting starange behaviour that black is not black but gray, so it's very hard to read from the book.

What is the correct way to change font type / font color / font size ? Are there any examples of that ? (Is that the css section?)

The default styles applied are pulled from GitHub's markdown styling so the text isn't hard black but actually a dark grey which is probably causing the problem here. You can use the --style flag to provide your own CSS sheet as shown in one of the examples https://github.com/BlueHatbRit/mdpdf#example-usage.

When using the CLI, passing in your own CSS will disable the default github style rather than stacking on-top of it. If you like the style but just want to change the font colour I'd suggest taking a copy of our default style sheet, amending it to fit your needs, and passing that in with the --style flag.

That stylesheet can be found here https://github.com/BlueHatbRit/mdpdf/blob/master/src/assets/github-markdown-css.css
