I gave it a shot this weekend to implement a markdown renderer in Jetpack Compose. Thanks to `compose-richtext` and abundance of Markdown parsers, I was able to have a working prototype in 2 evenings. Hopefully I can share the code once it is more organized and readable.

:100: super nice. Would love to see this wrapped up in a library.

Someone did this already FYI... Can't remember where I saw it..

<@U0B87SRLM> did this as well edit: thats the article above :smiley:

AFAIK Markdown parser is bundled in intellij,  and called from Dokka - <https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/tree/master/plugins/markdown/src/org/intellij/plugins/markdown/lang|https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/tree/master/plugins/markdown/src/org/intellij/plugins/markdown/lang>
<https://github.com/Kotlin/dokka/blob/master/plugins/base/src/main/kotlin/parsers/MarkdownParser.kt|https://github.com/Kotlin/dokka/blob/master/plugins/base/src/main/kotlin/parsers/MarkdownParser.kt>

That project is a good starting point, but it doesn't look like it supports tables, and seems to have more limited theming.

Similar note. I was missing `Spanned` and ended up making a basic html compose renderer
