Not rendering correctly when PDF exporting. #13

I've been using the custom highlight feature to write up notes for a campaign I'm running based on Legends in the Mist. They use some clever highlighting. It works terrifically in the app as you can see below.

But when I go to export these notes to PDF, something breaks down in the rendering and I get less superb results.

I know there's no way to track down these issues without debugging information:

RECOMMENDATIONS:
	Custom theme and snippets: for cosmetic issues, please first try updating your theme and disabling your snippets. If still not fixed, please try to make the issue happen in the Sandbox Vault or disable community theme and snippets.
	Community plugins: for bugs, please first try updating all your plugins to latest. If still not fixed, please try to make the issue happen in the Sandbox Vault or disable community plugins.

Of course, I also have some CSS snippets to make all this loveliness happen.

This is very much a work in progress, but I wanted to ping you to see if I was somehow holding it wrong.
