A Neovim plugin for live previewing Markdown, HTML, AsciiDoc, and SVG files directly in a web browser.
live-preview.nvim is a Neovim plugin that allows developers to preview files like Markdown, HTML, AsciiDoc, and SVG in a web browser with live updates. It solves the problem of context switching between the editor and a browser by providing real-time visual feedback directly within the Neovim workflow.
Neovim users who write documentation, web content, or technical notes and need to preview their work instantly without leaving the editor.
Developers choose this plugin for its lightweight, Lua-based implementation with no external dependencies, seamless integration with Neovim pickers, and support for advanced features like KaTeX, Mermaid, and sync scrolling.

Supports KaTeX for math equations and Mermaid for diagrams in Markdown and AsciiDoc, along with syntax highlighting for code blocks, enhancing documentation quality.
Works with popular Neovim pickers like Telescope and fzf-lua, allowing intuitive file selection and preview initiation without custom bindings.
Synchronizes browser scrolling with the Neovim editor for Markdown files, improving navigation in long documents directly from the editor.
HTML files only update on save, not live as you type, requiring additional autocmd setup for a smoother workflow, which adds complexity.
After updating the plugin, users must clear their browser cache to ensure proper functionality, as noted in the README, which can be inconvenient.
