Recent reviews
Great app. I like the view Table of Contents option and that its configurable. Makes browsing large Markdown files easy.
Плагин делает всё, что заявлено. Отзыв "Не работает с локальными файлами" неверен. Всё отлично работает, если сделать всё, что написано в инструкции по установке. (Check "Allow access to file URLs" in chrome://extensions listing, "Управление расширениями" - "Сведения" - "Разрешить открывать локальные файлы по ссылкам".)
I hope add [title](url){:target="_blank"} usage in the extension.
