## What it is
A Neovim plugin written in Lua that improves Markdown viewing by rendering headings, code blocks, tables, quotes, callouts, checkboxes, and LaTeX directly inside the editor. It is highly configurable and uses treesitter to render Markdown injected into any file type.

## Use cases
- render markdown files nicely inside neovim
- display markdown headings with icons and colors in vim
- view markdown tables and checkboxes rendered in the terminal
- render latex formulas in markdown notes in neovim
- make markdown documentation easier to read in the editor
- render markdown injected into other file types

## When to choose
- you live in Neovim and want WYSIWYG-like Markdown viewing without leaving the terminal
- you want configurable icons, padding, and colors for Markdown elements
- you need Markdown rendering for injected Markdown in any file type

## When to avoid
- you need a full GUI Markdown preview with external browser windows
- you don't use Neovim or can't install treesitter parsers and Nerd fonts
