Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore existing Rust libraries for PDF and ePub generation (e.g., printpdf, genpdf, epub builder). Review the current output format generation code in Zine to understand how HTML/markdown is rendered. Determine the best approach to convert magazine content to PDF/ePub, possibly by leveraging existing tools like Pandoc or wkhtmltopdf. Start by examining the existing issue and related feature requests.
