The intermediate file baked.md is a complete markdown of the whole book, made by the bakeBook.py utility. The utility also attempts to convert baked.md first to LaTeX as baked.tex and then to PDF as baked.pdf. If this fails, try the following manual process.

First convert to LaTeX using pandoc:

pandoc baked.md -f gfm -t latex -s -o baked.tex -V colorlinks=true

Then comes the tricky bit. Manually edit baked.tex with any text editor, changing all occurrences of backslashpagebreak to \pagebreak.

Then convert the LaTeX file to PDF. Good results on Windows are obtained using TeXworks or the command pdflatex baked.tex (the latter needs to be run twice to satisfy references).
