# mdcat
|
|
mdcat is a tiny portable linux binary to render markdown from a file (or stdin) to styled ansi for the terminal.
|
|
## usage examples:
|
|
```sh
|
|
mdcat README.md | less -R # -R is required for less to support ansi styling
|
|
```
|
|
```sh
|
|
printf '# header\n- list item 1\n- list item 2' | mdcat
|
|
```
|
|
## features
|
|
mdcat isn't really a compliant markdown implementation - i made it to render a bit of styling in notes i write on the terminal.
|
|
the following are currently supported:
|
|
- bold with `**text**`
|
|
- italic with `*text*`
|
|
- underline with `_text_`
|
|
- links with `[label](destination)`
|
|
- headers with `# text`
|
|
- lists with `- list item` or `1. list item` (but numbered lists dont render as numbered yet)
|
|
- task lists with `- [x] list item` or `- [ ] list item` where a checkbox is ticked if the `x` is present.
|
|
- horizontal rules with `***` which span the entire terminal width.
|
|
- strikethrough with `~~text~~` |
