Neovim Markdown Preview

Jul 7, 2018

Neovim Markdown Install I came across VIM Markdown Composer as I was looking to edit more using tmux and Neovim. Installed Rust and Cargo following instructions using the guidance from the Github page. Interestingly, this installed a lot of packages in Rust very slowly. Cargo is a package manager for Rust I think.

Gitlab Pages Custom Domain Setup
