// Please enter a detailed description of the issue // Description of the issue:

I customized a style to generate heading numbering such as 1, 1.1, 1.1.1, etc. It has been working fine for some time, though I haven't used it too recently. Today, though, I ran into an issue. In the preview, everything is numbered as expected, but when I export a paginated PDF, the second level numbering is off. I've attached documents to illustrate this. See below for description.

// Please enter a list of steps required to reproduce the issue // Steps to reproduce:

1. Use attached .md file and attached style.
   
2. Export file as paginated PDF.

// If applicable please attach a sample document that causes the issue for you.

I include a sample multimarkdown file that reproduces the issue, PDF output with the numbering issue, the CSS file for the modified style I use, and a screenshot of the preview to show how it looks before exporting. Note that I don't know CSS very well, and I modified the style file myself.

   This is a known issue, and a mysterious one I haven't been able to solve yet. I apologize for the inconvenience, and am looking into it.

   Ah, I see. Sorry I missed that. Thanks for letting me know. I assume, then, that there is no workaround either?

   Afraid not. I've spent quite some time trying to figure out why the CSS counters behave differently on the way to the print system where the PDF is generated. Thus far no luck solving it, but still working on it :).

   This comment was split into a new discussion: Fountain page breaks

   I'm writing in fountain.

   The print export pagebreaks never line up with the "---" pagebreaks in the preview.

   You need to improve the @mediaprint CSS for the pdf export, otherwise this app is useless for people who need to print

   pdf output never produces what you see on the screen, when processing as fountain.

   bummed.
