Preview your markdown files quickly in you web browser from sublime text 2/3.
You can use builtin python-markdown2 parser (default) or use the github markdown API for the conversion (edit your settings to select it).
NOTE: If you choose the GitHub API for conversion (set parser: github in your settings), your code will be sent through https to github for live conversion. You'll have Github flavored markdown, syntax highlighting and EMOJI support for free โค๏ธ ๐. If you make more than 60 calls a day, be sure to set your GitHub API key in the settings :)
LINUX users: If you want to use GitHub API for conversion, you'll need to have a custom Python install that includes python-ssl as its not built in the Sublime Text 2 Linux package. see @dusteye comment. If you use a custom window manager, also be sure to set a BROWSER
environnement variable. see @PPvG comments
