Usage
=====
When in a *.markdown or *.md file, vim-markdown-preview maps `Ctrl-p` as follows:
When in a *.markdown or *.md file, vim-markdown-preview does the following on a write to the buffer:

* If you are not previewing the current file:
    * Open an html rendered version of your file in Google Chrome in the background.
* Otherwise:
    * Refresh your preview of the current markdown file in Google Chrome.

Uncomment the last line in `plugin/vim-markdown-preview.vim` to map `Ctrl-p` to the above instead of on write.

Behind The Scenes
=================
1. First, vim-markdown-preview renders your markdown as html and creates a temporary file `vim-markdown-preview.html` in `/tmp/`.
