Works exactly as expected when trying to view a large readme.md file with oversized images. Was able to include "<img src="img.png" width="110%" height="auto">" and the extension served it with the html perfectly. Thanks!

Mostly works out of the box, after setting Chrome-->Extensions-->Markdown Preview Plus-->Allow access to file URLS. Thanks so much for your work on this. After converting a Word doc to .md via "pandoc --number-sections -t markdown_strict MyFile.docx -o Myfile.md" I note it doesn't show section and subsection numbers. (Except in the table of contents, which shows them as pandoc rendered them in text.) I also lost some color text--not mission critical but nice to highlight "good" and "bad" things in my document. After reading https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11509830/how-to-add-color-to-githubs-readme-md-file I tried the diff method and the LaTeX method and neither seems supported. I may be doing something wrong of course. (I haven't tried on Github yet.) But if I'm doing it right, I'm sure you're considering adding Github extentions. It'd be very nice to have. Markdown of [7 FAQ](#faq) is converted by this plugin to an href to #faq correctly. But the markdown of # FAQ {#faq} doesn't come out as the expected <h1 id="faq">FAQ</h1>

on PC this works great, I just tried it on mac OS though and it just looks black with white text, no images show up and no links works..... it seems broken on mac unfortunately.

Badr Elmers 2024-03-10

you are the king sir, it works better than what i expected i hope you can add in the future an option to past the markdown code inside this extention instead of only autodetecting the file extention

Jeff Brewster 2024-02-07

Worked for me once I ... Read the instructions and enabled "Allow access to file URLS" as it asks.

Tamás Polgár 2024-02-03

Doesn't work for me either.

Herberth Amaral 2023-07-26

I've tried this both on Chrome and Brave and it worked in none of them. Tried with a local .md file, but it gets rendered as plain text. Tried with a local http file server, it does render but it has encoding issues.

Nice extension, but is it possible to add overflow-y: auto and max-height to the TOC element and let it be able to scroll up and down when having a really long TOC content?

Nice job, now I can open a .md file as a html file, it's helpful.

5 stars because it is the best MD viewer there is at the moment, IMHO, and I have tried them all. My only suggestion would be, please add support for endnotes.

我用的是360极速浏览器,安装了其他几个Markdown Viewer、Markdown Reader,都勾选了允许访问文件,但浏览器打开的.md文件都是原始的显示,插件没有起作用,试了这个才有作用,而且在“Set theme for this page:”选项中可以选择不同的浏览模式,挺方便的,给个五星好评!

Super easy to setup and use. Works exactly the way I expected it to. Perfect for what I was needing.

Markdown渲染有点问题,MathJax引擎会将代码块中的 $$ (个别语言支持这种写法,用作插值字符串) 作为 TeX 数学公式进行渲染,导致渲染效果错误。 希望能够改进。

Very useful. It would be nice if it supports mermaid.

This extention does not work, the md files are not formated, I have tried all options including the fact to read local files, it simply does not work.

This is a great add on. It does a nice GitHub preview with auto-reload. You can also enable the preview of local files. Total awesomeness. Really useful. Would like a few more dark themes.

Thank god this was super easy to use. It's clear. Simple. Not a huge fan of manually enabling the file url setting, but hey. It works and is simple once set up. Thanks for making this.

非常好用,尤其是可以渲染latex。如果能够渲染svg就更好了。

It mostly works fine, but there are some problems with equations (enabled by KaTeX support checkbox): 1. Equations are rendered incorrectly: e.g. $\vec k$ doesn't have the arrow. 2. Some environments supported by MathJax seem to be not supported by this extension: e.g. "align".
