Vmd

Preview markdown files in a separate window. Markdown is formatted exactly the same as on GitHub.

About

Vmd is a valuable tool for developers and writers who work with markdown files, allowing them to preview their content in a separate window, formatted exactly as it would be on GitHub. This tool is particularly helpful for those who want to write documents in their favorite text editor and get a live preview. Whether you're a developer, writer, or blogger, vmd can simplify your workflow and improve your productivity.

Details

The key features of vmd include:

  • GitHub style rendering: markdown content is rendered as close to the way it's rendered on GitHub as possible
  • File watching: local files are watched for changes and the viewer updates automatically
  • Standard input: view any markdown text from other programs by piping output into vmd
  • Drag & Drop: drag files from your file browser or desktop onto a vmd window to render them
  • Navigation: navigate within linked sections, open relative links, and go back in history
  • Clipboard: copy links, local file paths, and images to the clipboard
  • Emoji support: displays emoji, such as :sweat_drops:
  • Checklists: renders GitHub-style checklists
  • Search in page: search within your markdown file and scroll to the results
  • Customization: select different themes
