Markdown Preview Plus Chrome plug-in usage

System: Win10
Chrome: 113.0.5672.127
Markdown Preview Plus: 0.7.3

1. Plug-in description

Generally, the preview function that comes with markdown tools is relatively simple. Plug-in developers are more accustomed to using vim to edit files. Although there are many markdown editing tools with instant preview functions, they are still not suitable. In order to facilitate previewing files in markdown format, Markdown Preview The Plus plug-in was born, which can automatically convert Markdown into HTML syntax and display it. Moreover, every time you save a Markdown file in Vim, it will be automatically refreshed, and the preview markdown file can be opened and exported to PDF through the Chrome browser.

Click the plug-in icon on Chrome and select Options to set it up

On the settings page, the default CSS was changed to YetAnotherGithub (I think this style is my favorite when printed, and I choose it according to personal preference). For the following supported extensions, I changed it to only recognize files ending in md.
