Package: mc
Version: 3:4.8.24-2
Severity: wishlist

I suggest that mc include support for proper viewing of Markdown files
out of the box. They are ubiquitious these days, due to the popularity
of GitHub.

I'm currently using this snippet in $HOME/.config/mc.ext:

# Markdown
shell/i/.md
        View=pandoc %f | lynx -stdin

mc gurus can likely come up with something better - there are a bunch of
suggestions here:
