Markdown Preview for Neovim

Preview markdown files on your browser. Uses markdown-live-preview. In fact, this plugin is just a thin wrapper around markdown-live-preview. It automatically sets up mlp and provides a convenient way to interface with it.

MarkdownPreview

Features

  • Cross platform
  • Minimal, asynchronous and standalone.
  • Auto reload browser page on edit.
  • Syntax highlighted code blocks
  • Supports Github flavored markdown, including tables.
  • Serves local assets

Install

Make sure python is installed

Install with packer

use({
    "gnikdroy/mdpreview.nvim",
    ft = "markdown",
    run = function() require("mdpreview").install_mlp() end,
    config = function()
        require("mdpreview").setup({
            port = 8080,
            localhost_only = true,
            follow = true,
            browser = true,
        })
    end
})

Configuration

Options

The default options are

{
    port = 8080,
    localhost_only = true,
    follow = true,
    browser = true,
}
Option Explanation
port The port the server will listen on. Subsequent servers will increment this value
localhost_only Only expose the server on the loopback address. If false, listens on 0.0.0.0
follow Autoscroll to edit location in the browser
browser Opens the preview on a brower

Port specifies the port the server should listen on. Additional previews will incrementally increase this value.

Commands

This plugin provides no user-defined commands, or keybindings for you. Instead it relies on you to set things up. This way you have 100% control over the plugin.

The following example adds two commands :Preview and :PreviewClose Additionally, :PreviewClose is called automatically when buffer is deleted.

These commands only exist in markdown file buffers (*.md)!

use({
    "gnikdroy/mdpreview.nvim",
    ft = "markdown",
    run = function() require("mdpreview").install_mlp() end,
    config = function()
        local mdpreview = require("mdpreview").setup({})

        -- Add commands :Preview and :PreviewClose
        vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('BufEnter', {
            pattern = '*.md',
            callback = function(details)
                vim.api.nvim_buf_create_user_command(details.buf, "Preview",
                    function() mdpreview.preview_open(details.buf) end, {})
                vim.api.nvim_buf_create_user_command(details.buf, "PreviewClose",
                    function() mdpreview.preview_close(details.buf) end, {})
            end,
            desc = "mdpreview: Create preview commands",
        })

        -- Automatically close preview when buffer is deleted
        vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd('BufDelete', {
            pattern = '*.md',
            callback = function(details) mdpreview.preview_close(details.buf) end,
            desc = "mdpreview: Automatically close previews on buffer close",
        })
    end
})
