# Introduction

"Markdown Viewer" is a simple GTK-based application to view Markdown files. This application allows users to:

- Convert the displayed Markdown content to HTML.

- Save the rendered HTML content to a file.

- Preview the HTML content in a web browser.

## Prerequisites

- `gtk3` - The GTK+ graphical UI library.

- `cmark` - A C implementation of CommonMark.

Inside the application:

1. Click on "Open .md File" to select a Markdown file you wish to view.

2. The Markdown content will be displayed in the main view.

3. Click on "Save HTML" to save the rendered HTML content to a file.

4. Click on "Open in Browser" to preview the rendered content in your default web browser.

## Features

1. **Markdown Display**: The application reads and displays the content of Markdown files.

2. **HTML Rendering**: Uses the `cmark` library to convert Markdown content to an HTML string.

3. **File Interactions**: Provides options to open Markdown files and save the rendered HTML content.

4. **Browser Preview**: Allows users to view the rendered HTML in a browser.

## Known Issues

- The "Open in Browser" function uses `xdg-open temp.html` which works for Linux-based systems. For cross-platform compatibility, this might need adjustments.
