[Feature Request] Is it possible to add Markdeep to the viewer?

[junkjunker]

I really enjoy the clean interface and ease of use of NPPMarkdownPanel. I also have been using Markdeep (http://casual-effects.com/markdeep/). I have been trying to find a plugin to view Markdeep files, but haven't found any. And before I tried to make something from scratch (painful), I thought I would ask if it would be possible to support Markdeep files in your plugin?
Thank you!

Hi, great that you enjoy the plugin!
I gave the first example (http://casual-effects.com/markdeep/starter.md.html) a try.
The integrated WebViewer (IE11) couldn't render the example properly.
I am getting many Javascript errors.
I am afraid the embedded IE11 engine is to old to run modern JS.

Thanks for looking into this! Please forgive my ignorance, but do you mean the IE11 engine is embedded in the NppMarkdownPanel plugin, or in the Markdeep code?
Thank you

What you see, after starting/opening the plugin, is actually an embedded Browser. The Plugin converts Markdown to html, but needs a way to render the html. Since IE11 is still integrated in all Windows versions, it was easy to use an embedded IE11 for that purpose . But the downside is the engine is quite old. Its ok render plain Html. But dont try to run sophisticated JS.
