Installation

Installation over Notepad++

The plugin can be installed over the integrated Notepad++ "Plugin Admin..".

Manual Installation

Create the folder "NppMarkdownPanel" in your Notepad++ plugin folder (e.g. "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins") and extract the appropriate zip (x86 or x64) to it.

It should look like this:

Usage

After the installation you will find a small purple markdown icon in your toolbar. Just click it to show the markdown preview. Click again to hide the preview. Thats all you need to do ;)

Settings

To open the settings for this plugin: Plugins -> NppMarkdownPanel -> Edit Settings

• CSS File

  This allows you to select a CSS file to use if you don't want the default style of the preview

• Zoom Level

  This allows you to set the zoom level of the preview

• Automatic HTML Output

  This allows you ot select a file to save the rendered HTML to every time the preview is rendered. This is a way to automatically save the rendered content to use elsewhere. Leaving this empty disables the automatic saving.
  Note: This is a global setting, so all previewed documents will save to the same file.

• Show Toolbar in Preview Window

  Checking this box will enable the toolbar in the preview window. By default, this is unchecked.

Preview Window Toolbar

• Save As... ()

  Clicking this button allows you to save the rendered preview as an HTML document.

Synchronize viewer with caret position

Enabling this in the plugin's menu (Plugins -> NppMarkdownPanel) makes the preview panel stay in sync with the caret in the markdown document that is being edited.
This is similar to the Synchronize Vertical Scrolling option of Notepad++ for keeping two open editing panels scrolling together.
