JavaFX WebView and markdown rendering...

[Tom Eugelink]

I'm missing the part on how the markdown is turned into HTML. Because the WebView cannot render markdown directly...?

Bold in HTML is not done using **, it is done with font-weight (https://www.udacity.com/blog/2021/01/html-css-font-weight.html) or <b> (https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_b.asp), so something is turning that ** into actual HTML, and that is not working.
