Has anyone hit upon a low-effort solution to parse *Markdown* into Compose's `AnnotatedString` ?
*<https://www.hellsoft.se/rendering-markdown-with-jetpack-compose/|Erik Hellman>*<https://www.hellsoft.se/rendering-markdown-with-jetpack-compose/|'s article> discusses doing this; wondering if any fuller formed alternatives sprang up in the last year.

Thanks <@U5969P4HZ> I'd seen this before but initially discounted it as it generates HTML, looking closer, I see the output stage could be extended with a new generator class for `AnnotatedString`s :thinking_face::bulb:

AnnotatedString simply can't express a lot of markdown constructs, so if you really want to support full markdown you'd need something like <https://github.com/halilozercan/compose-richtext|https://github.com/halilozercan/compose-richtext> (which recently got multiplatform support)
