Paging the output of rich.Markdown

[tthkbw]

I like the output of rich.Markdown and I would like to display it from my program using a pager.

In other circumstances I use click.echo_via_pager() for this, but it requires an iterable and the output of rich.Markdown is not an iterable.

Using the command line example:

python -m rich.markdown filename.md | less works as expected, but I don't know how it works.

I tried writing the output of rich.markdown to a file, but that still does not create an iterable that I can page from within my program.

Can this be done, and if so, how?

Have a look in the rich-cli pager.py:
