| Jul 25, 2018 at 4:54 | comment | added | lawlist | In terms of a live-preview (e.g., via the post-command-hook), there will undoubtedly be a significant trade-off in terms of performance in Emacs because the working buffer will need to be rendered every command loop and updated in the target buffer. The slow-down in performance is probably a deal-breaker, but maybe you'll have good luck ... Perhaps after every save would be a better way to do it ... [Personally, I rsync a draft to the shared server and view the live draft version in an external web browser.] | |

Another library (which I believe is all Lisp and does not require an executable) is called shr -- I've only used it once and am by no means an expert. Although I love to do everything in Emacs, if you are doing any sort of web development, then you will want to do a start-process or the equivalent thereof and use the real browser that your target audience will be using. | |
