Hi,

Does the report viewer respect values that contain Markdown tags (f.e. **text**) and is able to present them formatted correctly?

Hello,

Sorry, we did not exactly understand your question. Could you explain your issue in more detail?

Thank you.

Given the scenario that our data contains markdown text, will it be appropriately rendered inside of the report viewer? F.e. text will become bold or italic.

Please, see the file attached.

Hello,

Unfortunately, no.

Thank you.

Thank you for verifying, Lech.

Is there any plan to support it in the future?

Hello,

Could you explain how you want to use it and what tags?

Thank you.

We have comment section that supports Markdown (the screenshot above comes from there) and we want to display it through simple Text component.
Right now we are considering to work it around by converting all Markdown to HTML tags, but it has its own limitations as not all of them are supported (as per another thread created above this one).

Here are elements found widely adopted in the industry (and supported in our application):
- https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax
- https://www.markdownguide.org/extended-syntax

Hello,

Thank you for the information.

We will investigate and discuss this task with our team and will let you know about the result.

Thank you.
