wish: support other file names

[markstos]

To make it more convenient to support other file names, this could also be supported:

file:///.../README.html?file=./foo.md

If present, the file value form the query string would be passed called with GET instead of README.html.

Icing: a little CLI tool could be used to set up the initial HTML request:

preview-markdown --reload 5 ./foo.md

Then there would be zero copy/paste/modifying of files to get going.

Oh, there are already several of these types of things, I was just searching for them the wrong way:

• https://www.npmjs.org/package/markdown-preview
• https://www.npmjs.org/package/downtown
• https://github.com/pyrocat101/moo
• https://www.npmjs.org/package/walkthrough

I haven't tried them yet, but they could make for a helpful "See Also" section.

I tried several, and 'moo.js' works great:

• Easy to launch from CLI for any markdown file
• Automatic live reloads.
• Syntax highlighting for code blocks.

You have to install 'npm' first to install it, but that's generally useful anyway.

Really like those suggestions, thanks for sharing! I'll add a See Also section, and I'd be very open to a PR to add some icing here :)
