## What it is
MarkdownView is an Android library that extends WebView to render Markdown text or local/remote Markdown files as formatted HTML, with optional CSS theming. It uses MarkdownJ for parsing and is added to layouts as a custom view.

## Use cases
- display markdown text in an android app
- render a local markdown file in a view
- load a remote markdown file and show it as html
- show markdown with custom css themes
- live markdown preview in android

## When to choose
- you need a simple drop-in view to render markdown inside an Android app
- you want to style rendered markdown with custom CSS themes

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained library with recent updates and support
- you need full CommonMark/GFM compliance or advanced markdown extensions
- your project uses Kotlin-first modern Android tooling incompatible with old build setups
