JavaFX WebView and markdown rendering...

[Davide Perini]

Ooops, it was my bad.
I was loading a markdown from GitHub pages, and it seems that GitHub 
pages automatically translates markdown into HTML
if the markdown is named like index.md...

Problem solved, it's a GitHub pages one, not a JavaFX one :)

Thanks
Davide
