User guide
Every chapter below is published from examples/gutterpress-user-guide/ at build time, the same files Gutterpress builds into the printed guide, so this site cannot drift from it.
- Getting Started: Gutterpress converts markdown files into professional print PDFs.
- Writing Your Content: Gutterpress renders standard GitHub-flavored markdown to print-quality HTML.
- Visual Elements: Callouts highlight critical information.
- Styling & Theming: Gutterpress uses plain CSS for all styling.
- Plugins: Gutterpress uses standard markdown-it plugins.
- Validation & Best Practices: Gutterpress's validation system checks your project for print compliance at two points in the pipeline — before the PDF build and after.
- System Setup: Gutterpress does almost everything in-process.
- Publishing: When your book is built, Gutterpress can send it to the places readers buy it — itch.io, DriveThruRPG, Amazon KDP, a website on Azure, your Shopify store, or a folder in your own Google Drive — without leaving the app.
