Installation

At first, install this repository as normal Neovim plugin with your favorite plugin manager.

Then put <markdown-preview> component to your ~/.config/nyaovim/nyaovimrc.html as below.

<style>
  /* CSS configurations here */
  .horizontal {
    display: flex;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
  }
  neovim-editor {
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
  }
</style>

<div class="horizontal">
  <neovim-editor id="nyaovim-editor" argv="[[argv]]"></neovim-editor>
  <!-- Put component -->
  <markdown-preview editor="[[editor]]"></markdown-preview>
</div>

Note that this is just an example. You can put this component as you like. But I recommend flex layout to use space effectively.

How to Start Preview

If you set g:markdown_preview_auto (default: 1) to 1, this plugin automatically starts preview on markdown filetype. Or you can start markdown preview by :StartMarkdownPreview commands.

The preview is updated on TextChanged by default. If you want to update more frequently, you can set g:markdown_preview_eager to 1. If it is set to 1, the preview is also updated on TextChangedI.

If you set g:markdown_preview_auto to 1, it also stops automatically when the markdown document buffer gets hidden or is unloaded. Or you can stop and dismiss markdown preview by :StopMarkdownPreview command manually.

Mappings

If you don't set g:markdown_preview_no_default_mapping to 1, this plugin automatically defines some mappings only in markdown filetype buffer to scroll preview.

Scroll markdown preview up by 3 lines.

Scroll markdown preview down by 3 lines.

Scroll markdown preview to top of window.

Scroll markdown preview to bottom of window.
