How to render markdown in terminal using pandoc

To render a markdown file through the terminal, you can use the pandoc command to convert the markdown file into a format that can be easily displayed by the terminal, such as HTML or ANSI. For example, if you want to convert a file called file.md to HTML and display the result in your browser, you can use the following command:

Before that do:

sudo apt install pandoc

later

pandoc -o file.html file.md && xdg-open file.html

To list in markdown do:

pandoc -t asciidoc file.md | cat

Here is a list of other possibilities that pandoc can offer.

pandoc --list-output-formats
