Enables Chrome to render markdown files as HTML

Primary LanguageJavaScript

Chrome Markdown Extension

Automatically parses markdown files into HTML. This is useful if you're writing markdown (ultimately targeting HTML) and want a quick preview.

Usage

  1. Install extension from webstore (creates no new UI)
  2. Check "Allow access to file URLs" in chrome://extensions listing: fileurls
  3. Open local or remote .md file in Chrome.
  4. See nicely formatted HTML!

Note

If you cannot open the files in the chrome, it might due to the file extiension. Change the file extension from .md to .mkd or markdown and try again. Previewing the markdown file might be worked.
