**Markwon** is a markdown library for Android. It parses markdown
|
|
following [commonmark spec] with the help
|
|
of amazing [commonmark-java](https://github.com/atlassian/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 [commonmark spec] are supported (including support for **inlined/block HTML code**,
|
|
**markdown tables**, **images** and **syntax highlight**).
