About Markdown Primer

A clean and powerful Markdown reader with enhanced syntax support, smart extensions, and user-friendly features. Markdown Primer takes the .md files to the next level with support for basic and extended syntax, custom modules (e.g. Callouts, Code Syntax Highlighting), themes (Light, Dark, GitHub, etc), LaTeX (MathJax), and diagrams (Mermaid), right in the browser. Whether need to read documentation, notes, or technical content, this extension ensures the Markdown is clear, sharp and looks professional. Bonus: Includes Font Awesome free web-fonts. MathJax and Mermaid are disabled by default, so they do not occupy memory. They can be enabled via toggles in the Options. 📁 Also supports local Markdown files — just enable "Allow access to file URLs" for this extension in Chrome’s extension settings. ☑️ More information and the Syntax Manual can be found on the support page. https://netbuddy.net/mdprimer/ ➤ Extended Features: ✅ Extended Text Syntax • Underline • Superscript & Subscript • Strikethrough • Text Highlight • Abbreviations ✅ Advanced Modules • Tables with Alignment • IDs & Classes for headings, links, and images • Definition lists • Callouts (Blockquotes with Roles) • Code syntax highlighting (HTML, CSS, JS, PHP) • Task Lists • Comments • Footnotes ✅ Power Features • Marked.js as the core Markdown parser • YAML frontmatter rendering (show - hide) • LaTex & MathML notation • Mermaid diagrams for flows and charts • Multiple built-in themes including GitHub-style, dark mode, and more • Font Awesome free web fonts • Support for text files (.txt), with the option for styling 📌 Built for users who want a solid Markdown experience with powerful extras—without clutter.
