What was the original poster asking for? Personally I don't see much value in https://github.com/simov/markdown-viewer, although I'm sure it must be valued by the author and others. For myself I use markdown on web pages, like forums, that allow for this simplified formatting. So how it renders is really a matter for the site in question. My formatting has to work for the lowest common denominator, the person who install no additional plugins. In this case emacs with the atomic chrome extension wins, as I can view any website, click in a text box, press the extension button and an emacs frame pops up and I can choose to type in either. If I choose emacs I can engage markdown mode. The extension is written for atom I think, but works with emacs also. If the original poster was just looking to write in markdown, so as to to later convert it to something else for publishing (via pandoc) I suppose that makes sense. I would use org mode and leave the markdown out of it. Perhaps the point of markdown is that it is so simple that you use a plain text editor, like whatever is bundled with your OS, and just manually code in your markdown. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/atomic-chrome/lhaoghhllmiaaagaffab... -- Sent with gnus
