[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/noties/Markwon.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/noties/Markwon)
**Markwon** is a markdown library for Android. It parses markdown following
<Link name="commonmark-spec" /> with the help of amazing <Link name="commonmark-java" /> library
and renders result as _Android-native_ Spannables. **No HTML** is involved
as an intermediate step. <u>**No WebView** is required</u>. It's extremely fast,
feature-rich and extensible.
It gives ability to display markdown in all TextView widgets (**TextView**,
**Button**, **Switch**, **CheckBox**, etc), **Toasts** and all other places that accept
**Spanned content**. Library provides reasonable defaults to display style of a markdown content
but also gives all the means to tweak the appearance if desired. All markdown features
listed in <Link name="commonmark-spec" /> are supported (including support for **inlined/block HTML code**,
**markdown tables**, **images** and **syntax highlight**).
## Supported markdown features:
* Emphasis (`*`, `_`)

By default configuration uses TextView textColor for styling, so changing textColor changes style
