# mdv
mdv is a Markdown viewer.
-It can be used alongside a text editor to preview changes.
+
+## Background
+
+There are many standalone Markdown editors and text editor plugins, some of which use a full web browser and a local web server.
+All I want is a simple window to preview a Markdown file similar to a document viewer for PDFs.
+[Okular](https://okular.kde.org/) supports Markdown but the result doesn't too nice in my opinion and the installation requires a lot of dependencies from KDE.
