JavaFX WebView and markdown rendering...

[Davide Perini]

I think that the webview itself is able to turn the markdown into 
something that is correctly rendered.

[this text](http://acme.org)
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.

I'm not really into the webview implementation...
