MdViewer

MdViewer is a small WPF UserControl that converts Markdown to HTML (via Markdig) and displays it using the built-in WebBrowser control.

Features

• Render Markdown to styled HTML
• Simple Content property to set Markdown text
• External http/https links open in the default browser
• Temporary HTML is removed when the control is disposed

Quick start

Tip

You can view a sample app in tests/MdViewer.SampleApp.

Steps to add MdViewer to your project:

1. Add the namespace reference:

   xmlns:md="clr-namespace:MdViewer;assembly=MdViewer"

2. Insert the control where you want to display Markdown (suggested FontSize: 16):

   <md:Markdown x:Name="MdViewer" FontSize="16" />

   You can also set FontFamily.

3. Load Markdown by setting the Content property:

   MdViewer.Content = "# Hello, Markdown!";

4. Call Dispose() when the window is closed to clean up the temporary file:

   protected override void OnClosed(EventArgs e) {
       base.OnClosed(e);
       MdViewer.Dispose();
   }
