MD Reader

A PDF-like read-only Markdown reader for VS Code: A4 paper layout, **bold** rendered in pink, inline code as pink pills, teal sub-headings, and KaTeX math support.

Usage

  1. Open any .md / .markdown file.
  2. Use the editor title bar menu → Open With… → MD Reader (or right-click the file in the Explorer → Open With…).

To make MD Reader the default for Markdown files, add to your settings:

"workbench.editorAssociations": {
  "*.md": "mdReader.preview"
}

Features

  • A4 paper page with shadow, like a printed PDF
  • **bold** → pink, headings h3+ → teal
  • Inline code as pink pills, clean tables with gray headers
  • KaTeX math: inline \( ... \) and block \[ ... \]
  • External links open in your system browser
  • Re-renders automatically when the file changes on disk

Notes

  • Read-only by design — it is a reader, not an editor.
  • The Electron standalone version lives at EvanSong5525/md-reader.
