MVC: Markdown preview side-by-side in the Web IDE

Problem

Currently a tab click is needed to see your rendered markdown.

Proposal

Pull out the preview tab to be a side by side view when a .md file is detected. It should have the following attributes:

  • Only show up when a .md file is selected in the Web IDE
  • Defaulted on (shows up)
  • Can be collapsed to the right hand side bar, similar to the terminal
  • Can be dragged to (similar to the diff view in the Web IDE) to devote more or less screen space to each panel
  • Button should exist at the top preview pane which will refresh the rendered markdown
  • Only works for .md files
