mdtv
mdtv is a friendly terminal Markdown viewer built with Typer and Textual.
Install
uv sync
Use
Open a file:
uv run mdtv README.md
Read from stdin:
cat README.md | uv run mdtv
Hide the contents sidebar:
uv run mdtv README.md --no-toc
The sidebar is closed by default. Press t to open it on the right side.
Start with a Textual theme:
uv run mdtv README.md --theme nord
Built-in themes include textual-dark, textual-light, nord, gruvbox,
catppuccin-mocha, dracula, tokyo-night, monokai, flexoki,
catppuccin-latte, solarized-light, solarized-dark, rose-pine,
atom-one-dark, and atom-one-light.
Preferences
mdtv stores minimal preferences in ~/.mdtv.json:
{
"theme": "textual-dark"
}
Selecting a theme with d updates that file. Sidebar visibility is session-only
and always starts closed unless --toc is passed.
Development
uv run ruff format .
uv run ruff check .
uv run pytest
