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">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>

it is done with font-weight (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.udacity.com/blog/2021/01/html-css-font-weight.html" moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.udacity.com/blog/2021/01/html-css-font-weight.html</a>)

Hi all,<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>
Davide<br>
