Это один из лучших плагинов для демонстрации Mаrkdown. Я его использую для проведения лекций вместо Powerpoint или подобного. Удобно быстро готовить демонстрационные материалы, и сделать красивое оформление.

I really like it. I couldn't managed to render pictures on Github raw file but everything else was very good.

I just downloaded this extension and for the little I saw, it deserves 5 stars. Although, I reserve the right to revisit this rating at a later date.
