I use vim to edit markdown and have been using MacDown to preview the files. However, MacDown doesn't automatically reload the file when changes are made in vim. Any recommendations?
I would have a background process continuously doing .md -> .html conversion.<p>Then I would have a FireFox tab open on the .html, and using an add-on, set that tab to auto-refresh periodically.<p>Actually, regarding the first point, I wouldn't have a background process. In my Vim environment, I already have a custom command :W which saves the buffer and runs :make. I would have a Makefile which builds the .html from the .md.<p>So by saving the .md with :W, the .html would regenerate and the auto-refreshing FF tab would pick that up however many seconds later.
I've been a fan of Dillinger for years, automatically updates, side-by-side layout and converts Markdown to PDF/HTML.<p>It's not a CLI program though, web app.<p><a href="https://dillinger.io/" rel="nofollow">https://dillinger.io/</a>
