By now I know most of the basic markdown syntax by heart.
Still, in most cases, I wanna take a look at the preview before pushing a GitHub README.md.
Especially if a cool ASCII art is included ;)
Today I Learned about markdown-live, a useful node package that fires up a new browser tab with the preview of your markdown file.
To make it even more awesome, it watches for changes in the file and updates the preview on save!
Usage
- watch markdown files in the current directory
$ mdlive
- watch a specific file
$ mdlive -f <file-name>
Installation
$ npm install -g markdown-live
