# MDV — Markdown Data & Visualization

> Write reports, dashboards, and slide decks in a single Markdown-native workflow, then export to self-contained HTML or PDF — no rebuilding the same content across a doc tool, a BI tool, and a deck tool.

Charts, KPI cards, tables, and styled regions come from nothing more complicated than fenced code blocks and named styles. `.mdv` is **strict CommonMark plus four additions**:

1. **YAML front-matter** for title, theme, named styles, and dataset references.
2. **Fenced blocks** for data/visuals: `` ```chart type=bar x=region y=sales ``.
3. **`:::` containers** for styled regions and layout: `::: callout` / `::: columns`.
4. **`:::` `toc`** for an auto-generated table of contents.

No selectors, no classes, no expressions, no code. Themes provide defaults, named styles give reusable looks, the renderer does the rest.

## Quick look

````markdown
---
title: Q1 Report
theme: report
data:
  sales: ./data/sales.csv
---

::: toc
:::

# Q1 Results

```stat
label, value, delta
Total revenue, $2.06M, +14%
New customers, 1238, +8%
```

```chart type=line data=sales x=month y=revenue series=region yFormat=currency title="Monthly revenue"
```
````

Renders to self-contained HTML (charts are inline SVG, no JS runtime) and PDF. Lives inside VS Code via a side-by-side preview.

## Getting started

```bash
git clone <repo> mdv
cd mdv
npm install
npm run build

# Render an example
node packages/mdv-cli/dist/index.js render examples/09-full-report.mdv

# Or: live preview with auto-reload
node packages/mdv-cli/dist/index.js preview examples/09-full-report.mdv
```
