Please note that only file extensions are compared and no certain mime types or anything. If you want to limit the rendering to certain file extensions list them in the textbox as comma-separated list without leading dot.įor example, if you only want to render txt, log and md files just type in “txt,log,md”. If the box is empty all files will be rendered. On the General tab you can configure the file extensions the MarkdownViewer++ renderer should actually display. You can open the options dialog via the Plugins sub-menu. The MarkdownViewer++ offers several options to customize your plugin experience. The made selection will be stored and loaded in future sessions.

To synchronize the scrolling between the Notepad++ editor view and the rendered markdown, you can enable the option via the Plugins sub-menu. It has been tested under the following conditions

If you have the Plugin Manager installed you can search for MarkdownViewer++ and install it via that plugin.

#MARKDOWN VIEWER PORTABLE#
However, you absolutely must be using one of the few implementations which actually support the non-standard feature and your documents are no longer portable to other systems.MarkdownViewerPlusPlus | A Notepad++ Plugin to view a Markdown file rendered on-the-fly MarkdownViewerPlusPlus A Notepad++ Plugin to view a Markdown file rendered on-the-fly View on GitHub MarkdownViewerPlusPlusĪ Notepad++ Plugin to view a Markdown file rendered on-the-fly Features In that case, you could assign a class to a paragraph or inline element, and then use CSS to define a color for a class.

Now, StackOverflow (and probably GitHub) will strip the raw HTML out (as a security measure) so you lose the color here, but it should work on any standard Markdown implementation.Īnother possibility is to use the non-standard Attribute Lists originally introduced by the Markuru implementation of Markdown and later adopted by a few others (there may be more, or slightly different implementations of the same idea, like div and span attributes in pandoc). Would result in the following HTML: Some Markdown text with some blue text. For example, the following Markdown text (as suggested by in a comment): Some Markdown text with some *blue* text. That said, it is not impossible as you can include raw HTML (and HTML is a publishing format). Thus, Markdown’s formatting syntax only addresses issues that can be conveyed in plain text.įor any markup that is not covered by Markdown’s syntax, you simply use HTML itself.Īs it is not a "publishing format," providing a way to color your text is out-of-scope for Markdown. HTML is a publishing format Markdown is a writing format. The idea for Markdown is to make it easy to read, write, and edit prose. In my opinion, HTML tags are already easy to insert. The idea is not to create a syntax that makes it easier to insert HTML tags. Its syntax is very small, corresponding only to a very small subset of HTML tags. Markdown is not a replacement for HTML, or even close to it. Markdown’s syntax is intended for one purpose: to be used as a format for writing for the web. Markdown doesn't support color but you can inline HTML inside Markdown, e.g.: some *blue* text.Īs the original/official syntax rules state (emphasis added):
