Markdown-preview not working in emacs markdown mode
Markdown preview command not working.
I installed markdown-mode.el on emacs using package-install. Then I created a test.md file as a trial version. The hi-lighting syntax seems to work great in text.
When I used the command "Cc Cc p" to show the preview, I got the following error in the backtrace buffer . Even if I saved the test.md file in the current directory, it still said "No such file or directory". The file is located in "~ / workspace / daily_log / test.md."
I tried "Mx markdown-preview" instead of the keyboard shortcut. But that doesn't work either.
Could I be wrong about using markdown mode? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If you check the backtrace, you will see that it has nothing to do with your Markdown file.
markdown-preview
need an external command markdown
that can generate HTML. It looks like whatever Markdown processor you are using is trying to call bash.exe
(not bash
) when converting your file.
- You may have installed some Windows oriented Markdown converter.
- You may have configured
markdown-command
, directly or indirectly, to invokebash.exe
.
Since you're on Ubuntu, a simple one apt-get install markdown
should give you decent Markdown that works with the feature markdown-mode
markdown-preview
. After installing markdown
at the system level, make sure Emacs is markdown-command
set to markdown
(the default).
