## function to open text from stardard-input in Preview
## inspired by the `man-preview` function of Oh My Zsh that opens any man page in Preview https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/blob/b60b3f184275c39800dd7284d6904fcf295b3956/plugins/macos/macos.plugin.zsh#L221
## requires enscript: `brew install enscript`
## example usage:
## echo "hello world" | txt-preview
function txt-preview() {
enscript -q -B -p- | open -f -a Preview
}
