GTK application which does nothing but renders Markdown document onto the screen, using WebKit.
If you want display contents of a file called filename.md, just type:
$ mdview filename.mdIf you want to read Markdown document from standard input, use - instead of
filename:
$ cat filename.md | mdview -- GTKmm 3.0
- WebKitGTK2 4.0
- hoedown (included in the repository)
Before you can compile the executable, you need to update dependencies included in the repository as Git submodules. You can do this with:
$ git submodule update --initAfter this you need to install other requirements, as well as C++ compiler and CMake if you do not have them installed already. On Ubuntu systems this seems to do the trick:
$ sudo apt install build-essential cmake libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev libgtkmm-3.0-devThen you can proceed to compile the actual executable. This can be done with:
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ makeAnd you should have mdview binary available in the build directory.
After the executable has been compiled, you can install it to your system like this:
$ sudo make install| Key | Action |
