SMWC Preview
Adds preview support to SMWC.
Also read README_user.txt, that is the readme included in the generated ZIP.
How it works
There are two main modes of installation: normal install and userscript
install. Normal installation installs a Chrome extension that sends a native
message when the user clicks "Preview" and a native messaging host that then
previews the content. Userscript installation works by regsitering a protocol
handler to show previews and a userscript to add a "Preview" link that links to
the protocol. The URI format is documented in uri_handler/uri_format.txt and
is very strictly verified.
Platform support
| Normal | Userscript | |
|---|---|---|
| Chrome | Yes | Yes |
| Other browsers | No | Yes |
| Windows | Yes [1] | Yes |
| Mac OS X | Maybe | No |
| Linux | Yes | Yes |
[1] The extension needs to be loaded as an unpacked extension, which shows an annoying pop-up every time you start chrome.
