About Readown – Markdown file viewer

NAME Readown – Markdown file viewer SUMMARY View Markdown (.md) files in Chrome, local or online, with GitHub styling, table of contents, code highlighting and dark mode. CATEGORY Developer Tools DESCRIPTION Open any Markdown file in Chrome and read it as a clean, GitHub-style page instead of plain text. Features • Renders .md / .markdown files opened from your computer (file://) and raw Markdown URLs on the web • GitHub Flavored Markdown: tables, task lists, strikethrough and autolinks • Table of contents sidebar that follows your reading position, and link anchors on every heading • Syntax highlighting for ~40 common languages, with a Copy button on every code block • Light, dark or automatic theme; adjustable font size and content width • Raw source toggle and collapsible YAML front matter • "Open a Markdown file" page: pick or drag & drop a file — it re-renders automatically every time you save it • Fixes garbled accents when Chrome guesses the wrong encoding for UTF-8 files without a BOM • Safe by design: HTML inside Markdown is sanitized (DOMPurify) and rendered pages cannot run scripts • English and Vietnamese interface Privacy Readown collects no data, makes no network requests of its own and contains no remote code. Your settings are stored with Chrome sync storage only. To view local files, open chrome://extensions, click Details on Readown and turn on "Allow access to file URLs". --------------------------------------------------------------------- MÔ TẢ TIẾNG VIỆT Mở file Markdown trong Chrome và đọc như một trang kiểu GitHub thay vì văn bản thô. • Hiển thị file .md / .markdown mở từ máy (file://) và URL Markdown trên web • Hỗ trợ GitHub Flavored Markdown: bảng, task list, gạch ngang, autolink • Mục lục bên cạnh theo vị trí đang đọc, link neo cho mọi tiêu đề • Tô màu code cho ~40 ngôn ngữ phổ biến, nút Sao chép cho mỗi khối code • Giao diện Sáng / Tối / Tự động, chỉnh cỡ chữ và độ rộng nội dung • Xem mã nguồn, front matter YAML dạng gập • Trang "Mở file Markdown": chọn hoặc kéo thả file, tự hiển thị lại mỗi khi bạn lưu • Sửa lỗi mất dấu tiếng Việt khi Chrome đoán sai mã hoá file UTF-8 không có BOM • An toàn: HTML trong Markdown được lọc, trang đã render không chạy được script Để xem file trên máy: vào chrome://extensions → Chi tiết → bật "Cho phép truy cập vào URL tệp".
