Markdown Preview

[txtyash]

Markdown preview similar to this plugin:
https://github.com/davidgranstrom/nvim-markdown-preview

An in-terminal preview using the builtin markdown view would be a nice option, too.

I don't think so. I've used similar with neovim and it's terrible. It has all wrong colors and no way to view images.

But I wouldn't say no to both types of previews.

Subjectively, this sounds more like a plugin than a core feature.

[txtyash]

@felix-u Ya, a plugin would suit better.

This should be a plugin

I found this: https://pypi.org/project/markdown-server/

Markdown preview could actually (efficiently) be handled by a language server. There is already https://github.com/euclio/mdpls which does exactly that.

[MDeiml]

Actually installing that and adding

[[language]]
name = "markdown"
language-server = { command = "/path/to/mdpls" }
config = { markdown.preview.auto = true, markdown.preview.browser = "firefox" }

to your language.toml already gives you a markdown preview. The repo I linked seems to be missing a few core features though, e.g. images don't work and I would love some auto-scrolling.

@MDeiml I tried that but it looks like it does not support the $\neq$ :(

[MDeiml]

Not sure if latex is supported for that repo, seems like it uses https://github.com/euclio/aurelius under the hood which might support latex? I'm not sure.

You could open an issue in that repo and ask the author.

[TheCaptainCraken]

Yep I looked into that and it should support latex. I checked and it supports all other symbols like $\sqrt x$ $\gt$ etc.
It actually prints the $\ne$ butit renders it like \ = wich is odd. I'll open an issue there.

how do I open the preview?

@0xlilith
:lsp-workspace-command Open\ Preview should do the trick!
If it does not open, mdpls probably can not find the browser you specified inside your path.
