No, WebView does not render markdown. That is something done on
the server. Some websites (e.g., GitHub) will render markdown by
generating the appropriate HTML on the fly.<br>
<br>
I can reproduce what you are seeing using a GitHub gist
containing a simple markdown file:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://gist.github.com/kevinrushforth/26a76c5ccd2d41df798c2a29542a3414" moz-do-not-send="true">https://gist.github.com/kevinrushforth/26a76c5ccd2d41df798c2a29542a3414</a><br>
<br>
That page is rendered correctly in Chrome and Firefox. It shows
both bold and italic for the last line of text (the one that
reads "This is some bold text and some italicized text").
The"GitHub openjdk/jfx" link also works and takes you to the
openjdk/jfx repo on GitHub.<br>
<br>
When rendered using WebView (on Windows 11 at least), everything
is correctly rendered except the bold text. The link works
correctly.<br>
<br>
I'm not sure where the problem is, but I can file a bug. It
might be related to synthetic bolding of text...we've had other
bugs in that area in the past. I can't recall whether there are
still outstanding bugs.<br>

I think that the webview itself is able to turn the markdown
into something that is correctly rendered.<br>
<br>
[this text](<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://acme.org" moz-do-not-send="true">http://acme.org</a>)<br>
for example is correctly turned into a clickable link, where
the text of the link is "this text" and the click opens the
acme.org website.<br>
<br>
I'm not really into the webview implementation...<br>

I have a simple javafx.scene.web.WebView<br>
<br>
code is as simple as this:<br>
<br>
<div style="background-color:#1e1f22;color:#bcbec4">
<div style="background-color:#1e1f22;color:#bcbec4">
<div style="background-color:#1e1f22;color:#bcbec4">
<pre style="font-family:'JetBrains Mono',monospace;font-size:9,8pt;">WebView <span style="color:#c77dbb;">wv </span>= <span style="color:#cf8e6d;">new </span>WebView();
<span style="color:#c77dbb;">wv</span>.getEngine().load(webUrl);
</pre>
<div style="background-color:#1e1f22;color:#bcbec4">
<pre style="font-family:'JetBrains Mono',monospace;font-size:9,8pt;">Alert alert = createAlert(title, header, alertType);
alert.getDialogPane().setContent(<span style="color:#c77dbb;">wv</span>);
alert.showAndWait();
</pre>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<br>
As you can see the webview loads a webUrl, that web url
returns a markdown.<br>
<br>
Mark down is correctly rendered, I can see correct
headings, links are interpreted correctly like links and
are clickable, ecc.<br>
The only things that seems to not work is the bold text.<br>
<br>
Bold text **like this** or __like this__<br>
is interpreted "like this", without the ** or __<br>
but it's not bold, it is rendered like a normal text.<br>
<br>
Any idea on how to fix it? :)<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
