Description

Styed preview of markdown files in browser or PDF viewer.

Installation

$ gem install mdprev

For PDF support, download [http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/] and copy it into your /path/to/bin/wkhtmltopdf. Or you can configure mdprev to use another program. Here's an example of what to stick in your bashrc or zshrc:

MDPREV_CONVERT_PDF = 'htmldoc --webpage -f $output $input'

$output will be replcaed with the full path to the PDF name. $input will be replaced with an HTML document filename.

You can configure which command to use preview HTML/PDF files. By default it's open which works fine on OS X. For example usage with XFCE's thunar, just add these environment variables in your bashrc or zshrc:

MDPREV_OPEN_HTML = 'thunar'
MDPREV_OPEN_PDF  = 'thunar'

Usage

mdprev file1.md file2.md
mdprev file1.md file2.md --nav
mdprev file1.md --pdf

TODO

  • switch default to htmldoc
  • use htmldoc's page break system with h1s
