Markwon

Markwon is a markdown library for Android. It parses markdown following commonmark-spec with the help of amazing commonmark-java library and renders result as Android-native Spannables. No HTML is involved as an intermediate step. No WebView is required. 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).

^*This file is displayed by default in the sample-apk (markwon-sample-{latest-version}-debug.apk) application. Which is a generic markdown viewer with support to display markdown via http, https & file schemes and 2 themes included: Light & Dark

Screenshots

Taken with default configuration (except for image loading):

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

Header 6

Emphasis

Emphasis, aka italics, with asterisks or underscores.

Strong emphasis, aka bold, with asterisks or underscores.

Combined emphasis with asterisks and underscores.

Strikethrough uses two tildes. Scratch this.

---

Lists

1. First ordered list item
2. Another item

• Unordered sub-list.

1. Actual numbers don't matter, just that it's a number

2. Ordered sub-list

3. And another item.

   You can have properly indented paragraphs within list items. Notice the blank line above, and the leading spaces (at least one, but we'll use three here to also align the raw Markdown).

   To have a line break without a paragraph, you will need to use two trailing spaces. Note that this line is separate, but within the same paragraph. (This is contrary to the typical GFM line break behaviour, where trailing spaces are not required.)

• Unordered list can use asterisks

• Or minuses

• Or pluses

---

Links

I'm an inline-style link

I'm a reference-style link

I'm a relative reference to a repository file

You can use numbers for reference-style link definitions

Or leave it empty and use the link text itself.

Code

Inline code has back-ticks around it.

var s = "JavaScript syntax highlighting";
alert(s);

s = "Python syntax highlighting"
print s

<ScrollView
  android:id="@+id/scroll_view"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent"
  android:layout_marginTop="?android:attr/actionBarSize">

  <TextView
    android:id="@+id/text"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_margin="16dip"
    android:lineSpacingExtra="2dip"
    android:textSize="16sp"
    tools:context="ru.noties.markwon.MainActivity"
    tools:text="yo\nman" />

</ScrollView>

No language indicated, so no syntax highlighting.
But let's throw in a <b>tag</b>.

Tables

Colons can be used to align columns.

Tables	Are	Cool
col 3 is	right-aligned	$1600
col 2 is	centered	$12
zebra stripes	are neat	$1

There must be at least 3 dashes separating each header cell. The outer pipes (|) are optional, and you don't need to make the raw Markdown line up prettily. You can also use inline Markdown.

Markdown	Less	Pretty
Still	renders	nicely
1	2	3

---

Blockquotes

Blockquotes are very handy in email to emulate reply text. This line is part of the same quote.

Quote break.

This is a very long line that will still be quoted properly when it wraps. Oh boy let's keep writing to make sure this is long enough to actually wrap for everyone. Oh, you can put Markdown into a blockquote.

Nested quotes

Hello!

And to you!

---

Inline HTML

<u><i>H<sup>T<sub>M</sub></sup><b><s>L</s></b></i></u>

H^T_ML

---

Horizontal Rule

Three or more...

---

Hyphens (-)

---

Asterisks (*)

---

Underscores (_)
