Commonmark Markdown¶
Library for parsing and rendering Markdown in Compose using CommonMark
library/spec to parse, and richtext-ui
to render.
Gradle¶
dependencies {
implementation("com.halilibo.compose-richtext:richtext-commonmark:${richtext_version}")
}
Parsing¶
richtext-markdown
module renders a given Markdown Abstract Syntax Tree. It accepts a root
AstNode
. This library gives you a parser called CommonmarkAstNodeParser
to easily convert any
String to an AstNode
that represents the Markdown tree.
val parser = CommonmarkAstNodeParser()
val astNode = parser.parse(
"""

Emphasis, aka italics, with *asterisks* or _underscores_. Strong emphasis, aka bold, with **asterisks** or __underscores__. Combined emphasis with **asterisks and _underscores_**. [Links with two blocks, text in square-brackets, destination is in parentheses.](https://www.example.com). Inline `code` has `back-ticks around` it.
1. First ordered list item
2. Another item
* Unordered sub-list.
3. And another item.
You can have properly indented paragraphs within list items. Notice the blank line above, and the leading spaces (at least one, but we'll use three here to also align the raw Markdown).
* Unordered list can use asterisks
- Or minuses
+ Or pluses

)
// ...
RichTextScope.BasicMarkdown(astNode)
Rendering¶
The simplest way to render markdown is just pass a string to the Markdown
composable under RichText scope:
RichText(
modifier = Modifier.padding(16.dp)
) {
Markdown(

}
Which produces something like this:
MarkdownParseOptions
¶
Passing MarkdownParseOptions
into either Markdown
composable or CommonmarkAstNodeParser.parse
method provides the ability to control some aspects of the markdown parser:
val markdownParseOptions = MarkdownParseOptions(
autolink = false
)
Markdown(
markdownParseOptions = markdownParseOptions
)
