Description
I'm interested in exporting from Macdown to PDF as part of an automated build process. Unfortunately it appears that the export functionality is not included in the AppleScript or JXA dictionary.
Would it be possible to add scripting support for the export feature?
I realize that I could use something like pandoc, but for PDF export it requires LaTeX, which is a very heavyweight (and frightening) install.

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating MacDown's AppleScript/JXA dictionary and the existing PDF export entry point, then determine how export should be invoked from an automated build. Done means PDF export is exposed through scripting and works in that workflow.
