vim-markdown-preview (abbreviated to VMP) is a Vim plugin to preview markdown documents.
VMP has a few global options which alter its behavior:
-
g:VMPoutputformat
Default: "html".
Example:
let g:VMPoutputformat = 'pdf'
Note : Only "html" is supported right now. -
g:VMPoutputdirectory
Default: "/tmp"
Example:
let g:VMPoutputdirectory = '.' -
g:VMPhtmlreader
Default: "open"
Example:
let g:VMPhtmlreader = 'firefox-bin' -
g:VMPstylesheet Default: "github.css"
Example:
let g:VMPstylesheet "safari-reader.css"
Note : Only "github.css" and "safari-reader.css" are accepted values.
None of these options were available before and haven't been released yet.

Automatic installation
vim-markdown-preview is bundled with an installer script which will install to
$HOME/.vim/plugin/
sh install.sh
Send vim the command :Mm for a preview of your markdown document.
Alternatively, bind :Mm to a key binding:
map <leader>p :Mm<CR>
- vim
- Ruby support for vim.
- kramdown (bundled with this package)
vim-markdown-preview was written to run on OSX, and it will work w/o
problems.
I recommend the safari browser because it will not open new tabs needlessly
if a document is already loaded in an existing tab/window.
vim-markdown-preview is tied to the OSX command open.
You will need to replace it with something else - firefox-bin, for example,
for it to work on your operating system.
