Using Markdown locally

[marbux]

I normally use the Textdown extension for Google Chrome.
<https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/textdown/efalomlklhakojjbdfehfkgoicablooc?hl=en-US>.
Markdown editor in the left pane; the HTML rendered result in the
right pane. The right pane updates in real time as the left pane is
edited. Lots of other bells and whistles, including dragging a text
file to a Chrome icon to open the file in Textdown.

For bulk conversions I use Pandoc, which I script with Lua.
