Open Source Lua Markdown Editors

glow.nvim is a Neovim plugin that displays rendered Markdown previews directly inside the editor. It uses the Glow command-line renderer to present formatted documents in a floating terminal window. Users can preview the current buffer or provide the path to another Markdown file through the Glow command. The preview window can be closed through a command, the Q key, or the Escape key. Configuration options control the rendering style, border, width, height, size ratios, pager behavior, binary path, and installation directory. The plugin supports installation through vim-plug, packer.nvim, lazy.nvim, and LuaRocks-compatible workflows. The repository was archived in March 2025 and no longer receives bug fixes or new features.

The pandoc_resume repository provides a flexible workflow for authoring a résumé or CV in Markdown and rendering it to polished outputs like PDF or HTML using Pandoc and ConTeXt. The idea is that you write a single resume.md (or equivalent Markdown) file with your content and structure, and then the build system handles conversion, styling, layout, and output generation. The project includes styles, templates, and assets (CSS, ConTeXt files, Lua filters) to shape how your résumé looks, controlling typography, sections, spacing, and visual formatting. It supports a “make all” workflow (or equivalent commands) to produce HTML and PDF in one go, so from your Markdown edits you can regenerate the outputs reliably. There is also a Docker / docker-compose setup so you can build across machines (including CI) without worrying about installing all the dependencies locally.
