vim-markdown-preview

vim-markdown-preview adds the option to preview markdown documents in the browser from the vim editor.
The web page it opens is loosely styled on how GitHub would render README.mkd.

Install

Download

• Option 1
  Cloning this repository is one option, and the master branch should always be in a working state.

• Option 2
  You can download versioned releases from the downloads page.

Automatic installation
vim-markdown-preview is bundled with an installer script which will install to $HOME/.vim/plugin/

sh install.sh

Usage

Send vim the command :Mm for a preview of your markdown document.
Alternatively, bind :Mm to a key binding: map <leader>p :Mm<CR>

Dependencies

• vim
• Ruby support for vim.
• kramdown (bundled with this package)

OSX

vim-markdown-preview was written to run on OSX, and it will work w/o problems.
I recommend the safari browser because it will not open new tabs needlessly if a document is already loaded in an existing tab/window.

Linux/Others

vim-markdown-preview is tied to the OSX command open.
You will need to replace it with something else - firefox-bin, for example, for it to work on your operating system.
