These are some running notes on using markdown and associated tools.

You can convert from markdown to HTML using pandoc or mulitmarkdown

pandoc main.md > main.html
multimarkdown main.md > main.html

You if all of your, possibly interconnected, markdown docs have been converted to HTML, then you can render them and follow the links using the lynx utility.

lynx main.html

You can also render a markdown directly using

multimarkdown main.md | lynx -stdin

You can also use glow to render a markdown doc,

glow main.md
