PreviewMarkdown
macOS / Productivité
PreviewMarkdown provides QuickLook file previews and file icon thumbnails for documents created using the popular markdown markup format.
The app provides two app extensions: Markdown Previewer and Markdown Thumbnailer, which can be viewed and managed in macOS’ System Preferences > Extensions. The app itself is simply a container for these extensions.
You must run the app first to gain these benefits.
PreviewMarkdown supports the following markdown features:
*italics* or _italics_
**bold** or __bold__
~~Strikethroughs~~
