I use Sublime for everything text related, but it doesn't have any built-in way to preview my Markdown files.
This is how easy it is to preview in Mou:
- In Sublime, go to Tools -> Build System -> New Build System...
- In the newly opened file, replace the file contents with this and save: { "osx": { "cmd": ["open", "-a", "Mou", "$file"] }, "selector": "text.html.markdown" }
- Restart Sublime
You can now use ⌘B or F7 to preview in Mou.
Even though I only showed you how to preview Markdown files in Mou. This could easily be applied to any file type and app.
More about the Build System here: http://readthedocs.org/docs/sublime-text-unofficial-documentation/en/latest/file_processing/build_systems.html
Mou is an awesome Markdown editor: http://mouapp.com I use it because it's fast and I can preview how my Markdown will look on GitHub: Preferences -> CSS -> GitHub The GitHub CSS in the app is a little outdated, you can get the fresh one here https://github.com/gcollazo/mou-theme-github2 and just put it in ~/Library/Application Support/Mou/CSS/
Note that there is currently one shortcoming with using this. Mou doesn't update the file if it's given a currently open file, which makes you have to do ⌘W after a preview. I've emailed the author, so hopefully this will be fixed soon
Thanks for this! I was trying to use the markdown preview plugin but with no luck. It works well is you need a generated HTML file though.
Also, it looks like Mou now comes with the updated CSS file so there's no need to get it from that repo: http://cl.ly/image/122q3l3V0W3D
