FWIW, I use [Marked][] when previewing Markdown
I make an "open in Marked" script for BBEdit
#!/bin/sh
if [ "$BB_DOC_PATH" != "" ]
then
open -a Marked "$BB_DOC_PATH"
fi
And assigned a keyboard shortcut for it.
Works great.
Marked is $4 on the Mac App Store.
("Disclaimer:" the developer of Marked is a friend/colleague, but I
don't get anything out of referring people to it, and although I was a
beta tester for it, I bought my own copy. After all, it's only $4.)
