Hmm, you have unordered lists there!
I’ve tried that with SwiftUI’s markdown support, but haven’t been able to get it to work.
What’s your secret?

@matthew I switched to this, has pretty good markdown support, but one thing I had to adjust for, it doesn't recognize linebreaks as linebreaks, requires ending the line with two spaces

Ah, nice, thanks for the pointer. I’ll take a look :)

That “two spaces” rule is standard markdown.

@matthew it also has really nice fenced code block support, including per-language syntax highlighting
