HTML Live for Light Table

This plugin adds live-update functionality for the HTML editor in Light Table. See your markup rendered as you type!

Usage

To use it, open an HTML file and then use ctrl-space to run the command HTML: Toggle live mode. A browser tab will open that will automatically reload the markup from your editor as you type. A small toggle button will also appear in the top right of your editor that allows you to turn live updating on and off.

Limitations / Known Issues

At present, the plugin only works with Light Table's native browser. It should be possible to get it working with an external browser in a future version.

The document DOM is replaced without firing the typical window.load events, which may cause unpredictable results with Javascript on the page. This may be fixed in a future version.

Any unsaved CSS that has been evaled into the browser will be lost when you update.

Acknowledgements

The direct inspiration for having this functionality for HTML came from @MarcoPolo's Markdown Plugin.

And thanks of course to Chris and the Kodowa team for creating and sharing such an inspiring piece of software.
