[when-changed]://github.com/joh/when-changed) is a handy little script
that does just this. For this use case I do:

when-changed doc.rst make doc.pdf

where the makefile calls [pandoc](http://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html)

If I were doing this, I'd simply have a script that watches the .rst
file and rebuilds a corresponding output file, which can then be shown
in another window, completely separate to the editor. Advantage:
Requires no editor integration, so you can use any editor you like.
Disadvantage: Can't see changes until you save. Advantage: Forces you
to save frequently :)

Open a .rst file in emacs and press C-c C-c C-p to see a PDF output of
the file.

On fedora, you need:

dnf install rst2pdf xpdf

Ah, apologies, ignore me, I was forgetting that ReST and MD
are not the same.

I am not certain, but I am pretty sure that the Leo 'outlining' editor (written 
in Python) allows you to do just that, via its 'viewrendered' plugin.

Leo is an extremely capable editor which can work in a 'scripts + data' manner; 
you can write 'code as data' and intersperse this with Python code which acts 
on the data. FWIW this brief description barely begins to scratch the 
surface

Leo is cross-platform and open source; its main developer, Ed Ream, is very 
responsive to suggestions and feedback

http://leoeditor.com/

There is also a 'leo-editor' Google Groups
