How to format Markdown in terminal

+3
−0

When printing Markdown text to the terminal, how can I get a bit more formatting so it looks nicer?

I realize that this is a bit of a contradiction, since terminals generally use only one font. But kids these days have come up with all sorts of terminal bling, and you can do things like bold, italic, colors, etc.

I have a fancy hardware accelerated terminal (Kitty). No need to support ancient/minimalist terminals.

Is there some library that can pretty print markdown to the terminal?

This is not exactly what you're asking for, but you could use bat, which has source code syntax highlighting and just use the raw Markdown.

I don't actually use bat very much, but I use delta for syntax-highlighting diff contents in the terminal pretty much every day. They use the same syntax highlighting library.
