Sublime Text 2/3 MarkDown preview

Preview your markdown files quickly in you web browser from sublime text 2/3.

You can use builtin python-markdown2 parser (default) or use the github markdown API for the conversion (edit your settings to select it).

NOTE: If you choose the GitHub API for conversion (set parser: github in your settings), your code will be sent through https to github for live conversion. You'll have Github flavored markdown, syntax highlighting and EMOJI support for free ❤️ 🎁. If you make more than 60 calls a day, be sure to set your GitHub API key in the settings :)

LINUX users: If you want to use GitHub API for conversion, you'll need to have a custom Python install that includes python-ssl as its not built in the Sublime Text 2 Linux package. see @dusteye comment. If you use a custom window manager, also be sure to set a BROWSER environnement variable. see @PPvG comments
