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
