Its installed command is `mdn`, and the README positions it as a terminal viewer for README files, manual-like Markdown, and local Markdown documents. ### プロジェクトの歴史 The public GitHub tag history shows early 0.x releases in May 2020, a 1.0.0 tag in June 2020, a 1.0.4 tag in October 2021, and renewed 1.0.5.x maintenance tags in 2025. The README notes a name change in which the executable became `mdn`. Development has focused on a small C terminal application with ncurses, libxml2, and libconfig dependencies, plus a static/shared library embedding interface for applications that want to render Markdown. ### 採用の歴史 mandown's adoption is niche but visible: the README documents Homebrew installation, and package-manager metadata shows availability in Homebrew and several Linux-oriented package collections. The GitHub repository has a few hundred stars, consistent with a small terminal utility rather than core system infrastructure. Its appeal is strongest among users who like the `man` reading model and want Markdown to feel like local terminal documentation rather than a browser format. ### 使われ方 The normal usage is `mdn sample.md` or `mdn `, with keyboard controls inspired by pagers such as `less` and `vim`: movement with arrows or `j`/`k`, page movement with space/backspace or page keys, hyperlink inspection, mouse scrolling, and `q` to exit. The README documents a user customization file at `~/.config/mdn/mdnrc` and control schemes including mdn, vim, and less, with less being the default at the time described. ### パッケージ好きにとっての重要性 mandown is package-nerd interesting because it occupies a tiny terminal niche: render Markdown like a manual page without pulling in a browser, Electron app, or large documentation stack. For packagers, the important details are the executable rename to `mdn`, the ncurses/libxml2/libconfig dependencies, and the user config path under XDG-style config. ### タイムライン - 2020: Early 0.2 and 0.3 tags were published in May. - 2020: v1.0.0 was tagged in June. - 2021: v1.0.4 was tagged with a DEBUG-section fix. - 2025: v1.0.5.x tags updated README/dependencies and fixed Fedora/libxml2 and return-code issues. ### Related projects - mandown overlaps with terminal pagers, Markdown renderers, and man-page-style viewers. - Its package-manager neighbors include tools such as `glow`, `mdless`, `less`, and traditional `man`, though mandown's official sources describe it specifically as a C, man-page-inspired Markdown viewer. ### ソース - - - - source_facts.package-manager ## セキュリティノート narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger リスク:** グリーン / 低 - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
