Markdown Preview is a Chrome extension developed by erichschroeter. It falls under the category of Browsers and is classified as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory. The program allows users to preview markdown text before posting it on websites that support markdown, such as StackOverflow and GitHub.

With Markdown Preview, users can enter text in markdown format and see a preview of how it will look before posting. This is particularly useful for sites that don't provide a built-in preview feature. Additionally, the extension supports markdown README files on GitHub, making it easier to read and edit them.

If you often write markdown text and want to make sure it appears correctly before publishing, Markdown Preview is a handy tool to have. It eliminates the need for switching back and forth between an editor and the website, saving you time and effort.
