FWIW, I use [Marked][] when previewing Markdown I make an "open in Marked" script for BBEdit #!/bin/sh if [ "$BB_DOC_PATH" != "" ] then open -a Marked "$BB_DOC_PATH" fi And assigned a keyboard shortcut for it. Works great. Marked is $4 on the Mac App Store. ("Disclaimer:" the developer of Marked is a friend/colleague, but I don't get anything out of referring people to it, and although I was a beta tester for it, I bought my own copy. After all, it's only $4.)
