Configuration

This plugin uses some configurable variables, with the following defaults

(custom-set-variables
 '(livedown-autostart nil) ; automatically open preview when opening markdown files
 '(livedown-open t)        ; automatically open the browser window
 '(livedown-port 1337)     ; port for livedown server
 '(livedown-browser nil))  ; browser to use

Make sure to place them before the require line in your init.el.

You can also call the functions manually with

M-x livedown-preview
M-x livedown-kill

Or for bonus points, define a keybinding with

For additional bonus points, open the preview using the browser with custom command line options

(custom-set-variables
 '(livedown-browser "'firefox -P livedown --private-window'"))  ; browser to use with custom options
