## Showmd ### An executable to preview markdown in your browser Showmd lets you preview markdown files in your browser from the command line, it's a lightweight utility that will take the path to a markdown file and open up a preview in your browser. The markdown file is read and converted to HTML using [pagedown](https://code.google.com/p/pagedown/) and [pagedown-extra](https://github.com/jmcmanus/pagedown-extra) javascript libraries, a temporary file is created and previewed using [launchy](http://github.com), so as everything is done client side you don't even need a net connection. ### Installation ``` gem install showmd ``` ### Usage ``` showmd my_project/README.md ``` ### Screenshot ![](http://cih-static.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/showmd-screenshot.png) ### Tests ``` rake test ``` ### Licence See [Licence.txt](https://github.com/cih/showmd/blob/master/Licence.txt)
