Alternatives when Emacs is build without --with-xwidgets #22

Thanks a lot for that package and the great documentation. You also take use-package into account which is unusual. Thanks for that!

It seams like that my Emacs 27.1 (Debian 11) was not build with --with-xwidgets. Even when I do (setq grip-preview-use-webkit t) the preview is opened in my systems default browser.

But I still want to have the preview in a second buffer.

Are you aware of any elpa browser packages that could be used in such a case?

EDIT: I learned about eww-mode. I am not sure how to connect that with grip. But normal websites and also README.md files from some GitHub pages looking ugly. That is not what I understand about a HTML rendered preview.

I don't recommend eww-mode with grip-mode due to the poor user experience. The external browser or webkit-widget are much better to preview the markdown file. AFIAK, there is no other elpa packages are alternative.

Another option may be EAF, but it's heavy to me.
