## What it is
An Atom editor package that renders a live HTML preview of Markdown files alongside the editor, toggled with ctrl-shift-m. It supports common Markdown extensions and optional GitHub.com-style rendering.

## Use cases
- preview markdown files while editing in atom
- render markdown to html side by side
- github style markdown preview
- live preview readme files
- view rendered markdown notes

## When to choose
- you still use the Atom editor and need in-editor Markdown preview
- you want GitHub-style rendering of Markdown documents

## When to avoid
- you use any modern editor - Atom was archived in December 2022
- you need a maintained Markdown preview tool
- you need standalone Markdown rendering outside an editor
