Question

How to view a markdown file in Jupyter lab properly?

The readme file of a git project is written in markdown, as usual. How can one properly view it in Jupyter lab (rendered)? Currently I see the text version only.

Answer 1

A good solution is shown here in the youtube video

Open the file, right click on the content, "Show markdown preview"

Answer 2

Right click on the open markdown text editor area and you should get a menu option "Show markdown preview". Select that and it will render the text into markdown in another window (side by side by default)
