Features
Enki style: The markdown content is rendered as close to the way it's rendered on Enki as possible.
File watching: Local files opened in vmd are watched for changes and the viewer will automatically update when a file has been changed. This makes it ideal for writing documents in your favorite text editor and get a live preview.
Standard input: View any markdown text from other programs by piping another program's output in to vmd. Check out the examples for cool use cases.
Drag & Drop: Drag files from your file browser or desktop on to a vmd window and render it. Hold the
Shift
key while dropping to open the file in a new window.Navigation: Navigate within linked sections in a document, open relative links to other documents in the same window or in a new one (
shift-click
), and always be able to go back in the history. And open links to directories in your file manager and external links in your default browser.Clipboard: Copy links and local file paths to the clipboard, and even copy images in binary format to paste them in to your image editing software.
