I have a question about markdown on MacBook Pro. You know the preview feature - I think it’s called quick quicklook - how can I get that to work for markdown? I’ve associated .md files to always open with my IDE, but they still don’t render with the preview which is a mild annoyance. In my IDE i do use an extension to render the Md so that could be why and I could understand why recursive invocation may not be exposed at or available to the preview extension level. But any suggestions?

I built https://sdocs.dev which solves this pain point.

You can “sdoc file.md” to instantly open it.

It was discussed on Hacker News here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47777633

Look for a quicklook markdown plugin. Google found this: https://github.com/sbarex/QLMarkdown
I use https://github.com/sbarex/QLMarkdown and find it useful.
use leaf, quick install and standalone binary : https://github.com/RivoLink/leaf
