@pixelastic/markdown-preview

markdown-preview

Renders a preview of a markdown text in your browser.

Usage

$ markdown-preview ./readme.md

Installation

Install globally with yarn global add @pixelastic/markdown-preview

Integration with vim

I've added the following mapping to my after/ftplugin/markdown.vim to see a preview when I press F5.

nnoremap <silent> <buffer> <F5> :call MarkdownPreview()<CR>
function! MarkdownPreview()
  silent execute ':!nohup markdown-preview % &>/dev/null &'
  redraw!
endfunction

Limitations

• Uses a hard-coded /tmp/ to store the HTML file
• Uses a hard-coded google-chrome to open the file
• Does not handle local images
