About Markdown Viewer

Markdown Viewer turns any .md or .markdown file in Chrome into a beautifully styled page. KEY FEATURES • 10 themes: Auto, GitHub Light, GitHub Dark, Sepia, Dracula, One Dark, Tokyo Night, Nord, Solarized Dark, Solarized Light • Live auto-reload while editing — the extension watches the file and re-renders on save (opt-in via Options) • Copy-code button on every fenced code block • Resizable, collapsible Table of Contents with active-heading tracking • Syntax highlighting for ~35 languages via highlight.js • Mermaid diagrams (flowchart, sequence, class, state, ER, gantt, pie, journey, git graph, mindmap, quadrant) • KaTeX math rendering (inline $…$ and display $$…$$) • Adjustable reading width (full, wide, normal, narrow) and font size • Toggle rendered / raw with one click • XSS-safe: all output sanitized with DOMPurify • Works on local files (file://) and remote raw-file URLs PRIVACY All rendering happens locally in your browser. No data is sent to any server. No analytics, no telemetry, no remote code. Auto-reload (when enabled) only reads your local file - nothing leaves your browser.
