As the author of MultiMarkdown, and having generated countless PDF's from plain text and HTML, and not having the faintest clue what HTMLDOC is, I can guarantee you that htmldoc _is not_ a requirement for PDF generation when using Multimarkdown.
The PDF commands in TextMate that are associated with MMD do not require htmldoc.
Well, I'm confused, because there's clearly a disconnect between the reality that you're describing and the reality that exists in the markdown bundle on my machine:
david-watsons-macbook-pro:Markdown.tmbundle david$ grep htmldoc * -ir
Commands/.svn/text-base/↓↓ Convert Document:Selection to PDF.plist.svn-base:# convert to PDF with htmldoc
Commands/.svn/text-base/↓↓ Convert Document:Selection to PDF.plist.svn-base:require_cmd htmldoc
Commands/.svn/text-base/↓↓ Convert Document:Selection to PDF.plist.svn-base:htmldoc -f "$DST.pdf" --header "" --footer "" --webpage "$DST.html"
Commands/↓↓ Convert Document:Selection to PDF.plist:# convert to PDF with htmldoc
Commands/↓↓ Convert Document:Selection to PDF.plist:require_cmd htmldoc
Commands/↓↓ Convert Document:Selection to PDF.plist:htmldoc -f "$DST.pdf" --header "" --footer "" --webpage "$DST.html"
Is MMD part of the markdown bundle? Why do these commands invoke htmldoc? I certainly don't believe that I introduced the dependency on htmldoc. I used textmate at several workplaces years ago and recall having a very similar discussion about this then.
Thanks,
David
