mdmon

You can watch a quick demo of mdmon in action here.

Editing markdown in Visual Studio Code is awesome - it can even preview your mardown for you (crtl-k, v). The downside is you can't pop this preview screen on to another monitor!

mdmon allows you to review your rendered markdown in your browser of choice on your monitor of choice using a familiar GitHub style theme.

It works by using browser-sync in combination with express to monitor and reload your files when they change. Markdown rendering is performed by marked.

Syntax Highlighting

Syntax highlighting is provided with Prism with all languages supported.

For example to show some c# code:

```csharp
var something = "somevalue";
```

Install

To install run the following command:

npm install -g mdmon

Usage

Type mdmon to run from the current terminal path or mdmon -p '~/somefolderpath' to specify a path.

Browsing

Mdmon has simple folder browsing capability so you can point to the base folder of your project and navigate around to find the file you want to monitor.

New Tab

Keep an eye out for the New Tab button at the bottom to open up another browser tab at the root of your selected folder!

Download PDF

You can use the button at the bottom of MD pages to download the page as a pdf. Handy!
