aperçu
Man-page inspired Markdown viewer
historique
mandown is a man-page-inspired Markdown pager written in C. Its installed command is `mdn`, and the README positions it as a terminal viewer for README files, manual-like Markdown, and local Markdown documents.
The public GitHub tag history shows early 0.x releases in May 2020, a 1.0.0 tag in June 2020, a 1.0.4 tag in October 2021, and renewed 1.0.5.x maintenance tags in 2025. The README notes a name change in which the executable became `mdn`.
Development has focused on a small C terminal application with ncurses, libxml2, and libconfig dependencies, plus a static/shared library embedding interface for applications that want to render Markdown.
mandown's adoption is niche but visible: the README documents Homebrew installation, and package-manager metadata shows availability in Homebrew and several Linux-oriented package collections. The GitHub repository has a few hundred stars, consistent with a small terminal utility rather than core system infrastructure.
Its appeal is strongest among users who like the `man` reading model and want Markdown to feel like local terminal documentation rather than a browser format.
The normal usage is `mdn sample.md` or `mdn <file>`, with keyboard controls inspired by pagers such as `less` and `vim`: movement with arrows or `j`/`k`, page movement with space/backspace or page keys, hyperlink inspection, mouse scrolling, and `q` to exit.
The README documents a user customization file at `~/.config/mdn/mdnrc` and control schemes including mdn, vim, and less, with less being the default at the time described.
mandown is package-nerd interesting because it occupies a tiny terminal niche: render Markdown like a manual page without pulling in a browser, Electron app, or large documentation stack.
For packagers, the important details are the executable rename to `mdn`, the ncurses/libxml2/libconfig dependencies, and the user config path under XDG-style config.
