Markdown Preview allows you to compile and preview markdown as generated HTML files. It has the ability to select and use customized stylesheets for previewing your own awesomeness. Previewing occurs within the default browser.

For more information on the plugin: :help markdown-preview within Vim or take a look at the help files on github.

Download, fork, clone, or use it as a submodule within your ~/.vim/ directory.

Markdown Preview requires the following:

• Vim version 7.0 or above with Ruby support

Either:

• Redcarpet - The default parser to use if it's installed
• Discount - The backup parser to use if redcarpet is not found

To get the Redcarpet parser:

gem install redcarpet

The easiest way to get Discount if your rocking homebrew is:

brew install discount

If not, see the installation instructions from David Parson's Discount repository

While not a requirement, default directories are tailored to work within a bundle directory as specified by the pathogen plugin.

Currently tested to work with MacVim and Vim from Terminal.

• Tanoku's Redcarpet gem
• David Parson's excellent Discount parser

Inspired by:

• Mathias Biilmann plugin
• Rob Gleeson's plugin
