investigate overriding Joplin's in-app @page settings

[taw00]

Within Joplin, you set your preferred page dimensions and orientation. This is great, except I can't figure out how to override them. I don't think it is possible, actually. I have submitted a query to the Joplin community. I may file a bug soon.

If you want to diverge from whatever you set in Joplin's options (Options > General > Show Advanced Settings > ...) you have to:

1. Add the setting in the markdown (as is required)
2. Change the setting in the Joplin application UI — THIS IS UGLY
3. Export to PDF: CTRL-SHIFT-E

...or you...

1. Add the setting in the markdown (as is required)
2. Export to HTML: Right-click > Exports > HTML File
3. Open the HTML file with a Chrome-based browser (cuz Firefox doesn't support @top-right (etc) headers)
4. Export to PDF: CTRL-P

...or you...

1. Add the setting in the markdown (as is required)
2. Install Joplin "Save Note as MD" plugin
3. Export to MD: (Click little icon above the note editor/viewer that does this)
4. Install the Chrome extension Markdown Viewer (and change a few settings)
5. Open the markdown file with the browser and …
6. Export to PDF: CTRL-P

I would love Joplin to just allow me to override those @page rules.

Looks like it is indeed a bug in Joplin that has been noticed now. Well, "bug" or just … an overlooked implementation. Depending on how you look at it.

Fixed upstream. Will leave this open until tested.
