md

Only works in nightly builds of Kitty (or Kitty v0.40.0+ when released)

Renders markdown content with h1, h2, and h3 headings scaled proportionally to demo the kitty text sizing protocol.

Currently this is basically an extremely simple cat-like utility for markdown files. Don't be surprised if this crashes or breaks in some way.

This does not respect code blocks or anything of the sort; all lines that start with any number of # characters will be scaled.

Demo
