Is there any extension for visual studio code that allows markdown to be exported as proper linked TOC PDF? I have tried now atleast 5 different combinations, pandoc, convert markdown etc. and they all produce either really non matching content (pandoc) or don't link the table of contents right. (but atleast show the content 1:1 of what the preview is..)

I simply adore the pairing of Org-mode and pandoc. I was able to write up something super quick and format it beautifully for my friend in a PDF without hardly any extra work!
