When editing markdown files, you have some editing tools which provides preview mode (e.g. Brackets) but you don’t have everything like links between pages, anchors, etc.
We have here two tools:
grip
Grip has more features and serves directly .md files. It is using GitHub markdown API. It even redirects to README by default and auto refreshes when files are changed on the disk.
Install
sudo pip install grip
Serve
grip 9000
harp
Harp is simpler than grip, can be used to make static versions of websites written with markdown but maps the .md files to .html. So no links possible between files.
It is a node module named harp.
Install
sudo npm install -g harp
Serve
