Render Markdown articles #111

Closed lewis262626 closed 8 months ago

lewis262626 commented 1 year ago

Expected Behavior

I write most of my articles using GitHub flavoured Markdown. At the moment, I just pipe the output of kb in to a CLI Markdown viewer such as glow, but it'd be great if this was built-in to kb.

Actual Behavior

Markdown isn't rendered

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

  1. View article in Markdown
  2. No rendered markdown

Specifications

This would be great.

There are other options, so perhaps it could detect which Markdown readers are available, and then use one. I usually use mdcat.

I would say that the more deps we add the more time it will drain from my side (since I am the only one working at the project at the moment). One suggestion here would just be to create a shell function or alias that pipes things to the tool you want as you are doing.
