Best Way to Screenshot a Markdown File?

[Mike-E-angelo]

Hello Community,

I am using PupeteerSharp to take screenshots of files loaded in a Chrome browser. Everything is working pretty darn well except for Markdown files. It does not appear that Markdown is natively allowed in Chrome and an extension is necessary.

I did look into installing extensions but there is a complication here where the file being loaded is on the local machine (served out of the service account's %AppData%/Temp directory) and special permission is required to do this. I was not able to figure this out so I am writing here to see:

1. Is it possible to set this permission (Allow access to file URLs) in PupeteerSharp via C# (and if so, how)?
2. Is there an easier way of loading Markdown files via PupeteerSharp that I should be aware of? If there is some way of doing this without an extension this would be most ideal.

Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

You could generate the HTML yourself using something like this and then navigate to that html

Wow, thank you @kblok that is a highly valuable but painfully obvious suggestion to me. 😅 I am disappointed in myself that I didn't think of that. I appreciate your assistance in getting me pointed in the right direction!
