# MdView
MdView is a simple tool for [GitHub Flavored Markdown](https://github.github.com/gfm/) files in your web browser. MdView
recursively renders the containing directory of the provided file path, and serves its contents over HTTP on port 8080.
The default browser is then launched, displaying the contents.
## Features
* Works on Linux, Mac OS, and Windows.
* Single executable; no installation or configuration required.
* Preview is automatically refreshes when source files change.
* Output supports GitHub styling, including light and dark modes.
## Usage
Simply execute MdView with the path of the Markdown file you wish to view:
```
$ mdview path/to/file.md
```
Execute MdView with `--help` to view options:
```
