Beside.nvim is a Neovim plugin that provides live preview of documents in a split window, using terminal-based renderers like leaf, glow, pandoc, or carve. It supports bidirectional scroll synchronization and re-renders on edits, with a pluggable renderer system. The plugin is well-documented and offers a unique approach by leveraging external renderers rather than bundling one.

Target audience: developers using Neovim
