Markdown preview mode

MELPA Stable MELPA

Description

Opens a preview in a browser, updated upon buffer save.

Same preview window is valid across multiple markdown buffers. Scrolls browser window to keep your editing position visible.

Usage

M-x markdown-preview-mode will open preview in a browser and will start markdown-mode if it's not yet running for current buffer. If you've closed the preview window, you can start it over with M-x markdown-preview-open-browser. All websockets will be cleaned up on emacs termination. If you'd like to perform cleanup manually run M-x markdown-preview-cleanup.

Multimarkdown

In order to enable multimarkdown support, customize M-x customize-option -> markdown-command variable. Look for Markdown Command which is set to markdown by default, set to multimarkdown and make sure it's in your PATH.

Browser

In order to select preferred browser, customize M-x customize-option -> browse-url-browser-function option. Select your browser from Value menu. If it's not there, follow EmacsWiki: Browse Url.

Theme

In order to change preview styling, run M-x customize-option -> markdown-preview-style and specify a URL to your favourite markdown css file.

Websocket port

Adjustable by M-x customize-option -> markdown-preview-port.
