technical specs without opening a full editor.

* Opens in your default browser with no separate app window to manage
* Highlights code blocks with bundled highlight.js support for 190+ languages
* Typesets inline and display math offline with bundled KaTeX
* Includes 10 theme variations across light and dark modes
* Opens links to other local Markdown files in the viewer

## Enable snaps on elementary OS and install MarkView

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap can be installed on elementary OS from the command line. Open *Terminal* from the Applications launcher and type the following:

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
