Is there a file/document browser that render and display Markdown files? (for the Mac) jem
Most of the point of Markdown is that it can be viewed/edited in any simple text editor. Try TextEdit, SimpleText, or from the command-line (terminal window) vi. Lots of Mac geeks use an editor that starts with BB (BBedit?) In my usage markdown text is only viewed by me. I use it in combination with template toolkit. Others use it with various content management systems. The idea is that the writer is separated from worrying about a raft of html tags, and uses visual hints in his text to tell the html generator what to do. Many of these traditions come from text only communication such as email before HTML email came along, and usenet. E.g. using asterisks to indicate *emphasis*. In a more general sense, most of us can't worry about content and format at the same time and do a good job of both. You can sort of do it in a good word processor if you take the time when you start a project to define a good set of styles. I have yet to find such an editor that writes HTML code that isn't grossly bloated.

MarsEdit. It's for writing blog posts. One can enter text in Markdown
format and see a live preview in another panel, showing how it will
look in a browser. Even if you don't actually publish to a blog.
From the [vendor's website][1]:
Perfect Previews
Build a template to match your blog, then
let MarsEdit's live preview show you how
your posts will look before you publish them.
Use Your Favorite Editor
Combine the power of MarsEdit with your
favorite editor. Integrates cleanly with
BBEdit, SubEthaEdit, TextMate, or
TextWrangler.
