Render Markdown in Emacs buffer

Question

Is it possible to present Markdown rendered in an Emacs buffer using Emacs\' own buffer text formatting capabilities? Emacs in graphical environments has rich text presentation

Answer 1

I guess you can use the source code of latex-preview for inspiration or pretty-lambda(a much simpler piece of software).

Alternatively you can convert the markdown to html in a background process and preview the html.

Everything is possible in Emacs, but not everything is easily achieved :-)
