Open MD Files Online or Add a Markdown Viewer to .NET

An MD file is Markdown: plain text with a few symbols that mark headings, lists, links and code. A text editor shows those symbols instead of the formatting they describe, which is why an MD file often has to be rendered before it can be read comfortably.

GroupDocs.Viewer Cloud renders the file as HTML for display in a browser, or as PDF, JPG or PNG when a fixed copy is wanted. Page navigation, zoom and thumbnails come with the rendered output, and password-protected documents open once the password is supplied.

In a .NET application the SDK calls the REST API and returns the rendered pages, so a documentation portal, a wiki or a README preview can display Markdown next to the other 180+ formats the same viewer supports.

One file at a time, the free online viewer opens MD in a browser on any operating system, with no editor installed and nothing to configure. Developers who need the same rendering inside their own product can start with a free trial.

Can the rendered Markdown be saved as PDF?
