💻 Markdown CLI


Hacky way to preview Markdown via terminal emulator

Setup to preview Markdown via Lynx CLI browser

  • Add ~/.local/bin to $PATH

  • vim ~/.profile

    if [ -d "$HOME/.local/bin" ] ; then
    PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
fi

  • vim ~/.local/bin/rmd

    #!/bin/bash
pandoc $1 --highlight-style=zenburn \
| sed \"1s/^/<html> \n</title>rmd<\/title>/" \
| sed '$s/$/\n<\/html>/' | lynx -stdin

  • w3m doesn’t like stdin, but elinks (without -stdin) works
