       Is there a good #Markdown previewer for #vim that doesn't involve node? Right now I'm just using #gedit for something which is able to preview an HTML-rendition of Markdown as I edit a README.I guess I could make something myself, but I'd rather not.

       @hyperrealgopher not sure about markdown in particular. I've used the built-in make functionality when writing rst. I just execute it on save or by hand. It then will be compiled to an PDF. This is opened side by side and the PDF viewer refreshes and keeps the current view port.Maybe that generic solution helps?That way you can use whatever compiler you prefer. And there are tons in many languages :)

       @hyperrealgopher try gummi if you want a side by side previewhttps://www.gummi.app/or just use pandoc to view an .md as .pdfbut wouldn't it be more practical to first write, then edit, do layout and after that view the result?#Vim isn't made for mixing up those tasks, it's made to separate them

       @meine I'm not so sure I agree. The markdown preview plugin for vim seems pretty good. I just don't like node. I was thinking of writing my own plugin that handled writing html to tmp every :w and opening it in a web browser among other things. Otherwise I think gedit is okay for this purpose (it has a good markdown preview plugin).

       @hyperrealgopher can understand that, might depend on the kind of text you write. I always make my writings as clean as possible to have a good view in #Vim. however, my texts hardly have any pictures, tables etc.
