Is there any way to edit and preview markdown files using WebStorm?
This plugin is only for markdown language support, but I am looking for a plugin or tool which can let me edit the markdown in WebStorm and then preview in browser.
Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the IDE settings and select Languages & Frameworks | Markdown. Enable either Mermaid or PlantUML under Markdown Extensions. After IntelliJ IDEA downloads the relevant extensions, click OK to apply the changes.
Markdown preview#md extension and then you can toggle the visualization of the editor between the code and the preview of the Markdown file; obviously, you can also open an existing Markdown file and start working with it. To switch between views, press Ctrl+Shift+V in the editor.
Go to File -> Settings -> Languages & Frameworks -> Markdown. Install either of these plugins. In order to see a file preview move a mouse to the upper right corner and select this option.
The Markdown Plugin you mentioned includes a Markdown preview tab (on the bottom), which looks like this:
If you really want to preview your file in a browser, you could install a Markdown -> HTML converter and run it from within Webstorm using External Tools.
Jet Brains has their own markdown plugin. I'd suggest using it. I just switched from "Markdown Navigator", because it crashed a few times from using it heavily.
