Lightweight plugin to preview markdown within Notepad++ĭisplaying rendered markdown html with embedded IE11 NppMarkdownPanel release (opens new window) One is NppMarkdownPanel (opens new window), and the other one is MarkdownViewer++ (opens new window). Open "Plugins Admin" dialog from Notepad++ (menu: "Plugins | Plugins Admin."), you will find 2 plugins available. There are build-in plugins for Notepad++ to preview Markdown file. Next, I need a preview panel on the right side.

There's a project called Markdown Syntax Highlighting for Notepad++ (opens new window) on GitHub. Markdown Syntax Highlightingįirst, I need to have Notepad++ support Markdown syntax highlighting. If you are interested, you can follow the steps below to setup. It will enable Notepad++ (64-bit) with Markdown syntax highlighting (feature limited) and a right preview window alongside (one way sync: md -> preview). Although I am using Typora (opens new window) and happy with that, I still want Notepad++ (opens new window) to support Markdown editing, even with limited capabilities. I am using Windows 10 pro 64-bit PC as my work-horse.
