Oh now, installing a whole IDE to view Markdown files is an overkill.

Thank you for the hint about pandoc, but I would actually like some
lightweight GUI viewer I could associate with the .md extention and view
Markdown files from Thunar.

I could write a script which would convert Markdown documents to HTML
