Review summary

Markdown Viewer is a simple, free, and functional Edge add-on praised for effectively rendering markdown files including complex formulas and supporting local files when permissions are set. Users appreciate its better display compared to alternatives and configurable support for file extensions. However, common issues include limited support for some markdown syntax like footnotes, image path problems, inability to edit files, and occasional issues with rendering leading to unintended downloads.
Pros
  • Renders markdown files including those with many formulas quickly and effectively.
  • Allows viewing local markdown files when 'Allow access to file URLs' is enabled.
  • Simple, functional, and free open source.
  • Provides better markdown display compared to similar tools like SimpRead.
  • Supports a range of markdown file extensions with configurable options.
Cons
  • Default settings require lowercase file extensions; users must manually add uppercase extensions if needed.
  • Some markdown features like footnotes are not rendered correctly.
  • Images with double backslash paths may not display properly.
  • Does not support editing markdown, only previewing.
  • Some users encounter issues where markdown files download instead of rendering.

2024-07-31 Tom 为啥编译后的页面,依然有markdown的格式化标签?怎么才能不显示?,找到问题原因了,选项上面那个按钮就是切换按MARKDOWN或HTML方式显示。

2024-05-08 Frandsen, Verified in EDGE (124.0.2478.80 (Official build) (64-bit)) - basics are rendered fine. Noted footnote references are not rendered correctly [^1] vs [^1]:<note>. Please fix.
