About

Markdown files are a wonderful tool to get formatted, visually appealing, information to people in a minimal way. Except 9 times out of 10 you need an entire web browser to quickly open a file...

Introducing Inlyne, a GPU powered yet browsless tool to help you quickly view markdown files in the blink of an eye.

Install

To install just use cargo install inlyne, everything comes pre-bundled.

FAQ

Is this a html markdown or html renderer?

All markdown files are converted to html thanks to comrak and rendered from there. So technically its a markdown converter and html renderer.

However for obvious complexity reasons, inlynes only going to support enough html to get by rendering 95% of markdown files such as <br>, <h1>, <img>.. etc.

Unforuntately things like <form> and every single css style isn't going to be in scope

Why not use a browser or Visual Studio Code?

You definitely can! And it'll probably do a lot more accurate job at rendering it.

However wouldn't it be nice to have an application that can quickly open that one file in your vim setup? I'd like to think of this as the macOS preview or Adobe Acrobat of markdown.
