# aurelius

[aurelius](https://github.com/euclio/aurelius) is a complete solution for

live-previewing markdown as HTML.

![](https://github.com/euclio/aurelius/workflows/Continuous%20integration/badge.svg)

[![crates.io](http://meritbadge.herokuapp.com/aurelius)](https://crates.io/crates/aurelius)

This crate provides a server that can render and update an HTML preview of markdown without a

client-side refresh. Upon receiving an HTTP request, the server responds with an HTML page

containing a rendering of supplied markdown. Client-side JavaScript then initiates a WebSocket

connection which allows the server to push changes to the client.

Full documentation may be found [here][docs].

This crate was designed to power [vim-markdown-composer], a markdown preview plugin for

[Neovim](http://neovim.io), but it may be used to implement similar plugins for any editor.

See [vim-markdown-composer] for a real-world usage example.

## Acknowledgments

This crate is inspired by suan's

[instant-markdown-d](https://github.com/suan/instant-markdown-d).

## Why the name?

"Aurelius" is a Roman *gens* (family name) shared by many famous Romans,

including emperor Marcus Aurelius, one of the "Five Good Emperors." The gens

itself originates from the Latin *aureus* meaning "golden." Also, tell me that

"Markdown Aurelius" isn't a great pun.
