mdcat
Cat for Markdown with terminal rendering
TLDR
Render a Markdown file
$ mdcat [path/to/file.md]
Render Markdown from stdin$ echo "# Hello" | mdcat
Paginate output$ mdcat -p [path/to/file.md]
SYNOPSIS
mdcat [options] [files...]
DESCRIPTION
mdcat renders Markdown documents directly in the terminal with syntax highlighting for code blocks (via syntect), inline images in supported terminals, clickable links, and jump marks for headings in iTerm2.
It works best with iTerm2, WezTerm, and kitty, and supports most modern terminal emulators including Windows Terminal and anything based on VTE. If no files are specified, it reads from stdin.
PARAMETERS
-p, --paginate
Paginate output through a pager.--no-colour
Disable syntax highlighting and colours.
CAVEATS
Inline image support depends on the terminal emulator. Some terminals may only display links to images instead.
HISTORY
mdcat was created by swsnr and is written in Rust.
