POPorting a markdown-live-preview-in-vim plugin from *nix to Windows

Body
copied!<p><em>I need your help. Because I've no idea what I'm doing.</em></p> <p>There is this nice plugin <a href="https://github.com/suan/vim-instant-markdown" rel="nofollow">vim-instant-markdown</a> I recently stumbled onto. Basically, it's a live preview in a browser, running in the background, while you're writing your text in markdown plugin, and I like the concept.</p> <p>So, I've tried to get it to work on Windows,</p> <ul> <li>installed Ruby (rubyinstaller-1.9.3-p125)</li> <li>installed Ruby-DevKit (DevKit-tdm-32-4.5.2-20111229-1559-sfx)</li> <li>followed instructions on <a href="https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit</a></li> <li><code>gem install redcarpet pygments.rb</code></li> <li>installed node (node-v0.6.10)</li> <li><code>npm -g install instant-markdown-d</code></li> </ul> <p>So far so good,</p> <p>I open a markdown file in Vim, and it opens (pause button works here) a command line window with my text inside. Browser not seen anywhere.</p> <p>In the plugin there is an <code>/dev/null</code> "thing" (I'm not an unix guy, more than I needed to be, which wasn't very much - just an ordinary user for most part). <code>/dev</code> doesn't exist on Windows.</p> <p><strong>To put long story short, my question is - can this be made to work on Windows, the way it should work, or is it a waste of effort even to try it to get it to work?</strong></p> <p><strong>I'm welcoming all constructive ideas and suggestions.</strong></p>
