Redirecting to openjfx-dev
As I mentioned in my last message (which I sent before reading this), I
think there is a JavaFX bug at work here. Other browsers correctly
render the HTML that GitHub turns the markdown into. JavaFX WebView
renders most of it correctly, but does not render the bold text as bold.

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

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...

I'm missing the part on how the markdown is turned into HTML.
Because the WebView cannot render markdown directly...?
Bold in HTML is not done using **, it is done with font-weight
(https://www.udacity.com/blog/2021/01/html-css-font-weight.html) or
<b> (https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_b.asp), so something is
turning that ** into actual HTML, and that is not working.

Hi all,
I have a simple javafx.scene.web.WebView
code is as simple as this:
WebViewwv =new WebView();
wv.getEngine().load(webUrl);
Alert alert = createAlert(title, header, alertType);
alert.getDialogPane().setContent(wv);
alert.showAndWait();
As you can see the webview loads a webUrl, that web url returns a
markdown.
Mark down is correctly rendered, I can see correct headings, links
are interpreted correctly like links and are clickable, ecc.
The only things that seems to not work is the bold text.
Bold text **like this** or __like this__
is interpreted "like this", without the ** or __
but it's not bold, it is rendered like a normal text.
Any idea on how to fix it? :)
Thanks
Davide
