# Textual Markdown Browser

This project is an experimental "Markdown browser" for the terminal, built with [Textual](https://github.com/Textualize/textual).

Markdown in the terminal is not unusual. [Rich](https://github.com/Textualize/rich) has a decent Markdown renderer, but its output is essentially static. Textual Markdown creates a more dynamic Markdown document you can interact with: there are working [links](./demo.md), code fences with scrollbars, and tables.

Links must be relative and on the filesystem for now. These could be made to load from the network for a more browser like experience. It is also relatively easy to intercept links and handle them programatically. Opening up custom hypertext like applications.

And finally, there is a TOC (Table Of Contents) extracted from the Markdown, which can be used to navigate the document.

## Try it out

You can install `textual-markdown` from PyPI in the usual way:

```
pip install textual-markdown
```

Here's how you open a Markdown file:

```
python -m textual_markdown README.md
```

## Disclaimer

At time of writing, there is less than a week's work in this. Which means you may (likely) find bugs.

## The future

Some (or all) of this repo will be rolled in to [Textual](https://github.com/Textualize/textual). It may also become a project in its own right. If there is enough interest.
