Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : mdfried Version : 0.14.2 Upstream Contact: benjajaja <[email protected]> * URL : https://github.com/benjajaja/mdfried * License : GPL-3.0 Programming Lang: Rust Description : markdown viewer for terminal with text-sizing and several image protocols
mdfried is a markdown viewer for the terminal that renders headers as bigger text and supports inline image rendering using terminal graphics protocols (Sixel, Kitty, iTerm2). The tool renders headers as images to achieve true "Big Headers" that make markdown documents more readable in the terminal. It supports multiple terminal graphics protocols including Sixels, Kitty graphics protocol, and iTerm2, making it compatible with modern terminals like Kitty, WezTerm, iTerm2, Ghostty, Foot, and xterm. Key features: - Renders markdown with scalable headers using terminal graphics - Supports multiple image protocols (Sixels, Kitty, iTerm2) - Kitty 0.40+ can use native text sizing without rendering to images - Interactive navigation with vim-like keybindings - Configurable color schemes and styling This would be useful for Debian users who work with markdown documentation in terminal environments. The package is already available in AUR for Arch Linux, NixOS nixpkgs, Windows release download, and `cargo install`. The Debian Rust Team might be interested in packaging this, as it's a Rust project with useful functionality for terminal users. There are no special runtime dependencies (dynamic libs) except the basic libc stuff.
