Preview html markup of the documents edited in Sublime Text 3 in custom browser

(English is not my native language)

Hello. I want to preview quickly the html documents edited in Sublime Text 3. I found a plugin View in browser, but this plugin support only Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome and Safari. My browser is Pale Moon, the file of start is in the Windows folder D:\Pale Moon\palemoon.exe. May I quickly preview html documents in my browser? Thanks.

Solution

  • Pale Moon can be launched with a command-line argument telling it where to go:

    "D:\Pale Moon\palemoon.exe" "stackoverflow.com"

    This means that we can use a Sublime Text build system to open the current file in Pale Moon. Go to Tools > Build System > New Build System... and then enter this into new document:

    {
    "shell_cmd": "\"D:/Pale Moon/palemoon.exe\" \"$file\""
}

    Save that into C:\Users\You\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages\User (it'll probably default to this location) as Preview in Pale Moon.sublime-build. Now, in your HTML document, go to Tools > Build System > Preview in Pale Moon.

    Now, whenever you want to open Pale Moon to your current Sublime Text document, press Ctrl + B.
