About Markdown Split Preview
# Markdown Split Preview
**Effortless side-by-side raw and rendered Markdown preview in Chrome.**
When you open any Markdown file (`.md` or `.markdown`), local or remote, this extension:
- Splits the tab into two panes
• 📝 Left: raw Markdown source
• 👁️ Right: live HTML preview
- Mirrors Visual Studio Code styling for perfect familiarity
- Supports light & dark system themes (auto-switching)
- Keeps both panes in sync while scrolling
- Renders instantly offline with [marked.js](https://github.com/markedjs/marked)
No extra buttons or UI—just open a Markdown file and start reading.
**Permissions:**
- `activeTab`, `scripting` (injected only on Markdown pages)
