Feature Request: Markdown Rendering/Preview in File Viewer #16782
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When viewing Markdown (.md) files in the OpenCode Desktop file viewer, they are currently displayed as raw text. While this is fine for editing, it makes reading documentation or complex markdown files harder than it needs to be.
Describe the solution you'd like
It would be great to have the ability to render markdown files directly in the file viewer. A toggle to switch between "Raw" (source text) and "Preview" (rendered HTML) when viewing a markdown file would drastically improve the reading experience for documentation.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Opening the markdown file in an external editor or viewer (like VS Code or a browser) to see the rendered version.
