Mukette: A Pager for Markdown, for UNIX-based Systems

A 'pager' is a utility that takes a markup text (say, Roff) and displays that text, formatted, in the terminal. The first pager was nroff(1) for the aforementioned Roff, and you may still find nroff(1) on UNIX-based systems.

Mukette follows the same template. You pass it one, or several Markdown files, and it pages them. For example, you may use example-document.md to test Mukette.

mukette example-document.md

Installing

You need ncurses and Flex to build Mukette. ncurses is probably already on your system. But just to be safe:

sudo apt-get install ncurses-dev flex

And then in the the root directory, run make and make install:

make && sudo make install

The man page will be installed alongside. The man page contains all the info about using Mukette:

man 1 mukette

Disclaimer

Mukette is a v1 product, it still has a lot of rough edges. Report any bugs to Issues tab in the Github repository.

Windows

On Windows you can use WSL2 or CygWin/MSys.
