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.
