Markwon is an Android markdown library that parses markdown per the CommonMark spec using commonmark-java and renders it as native Android Spannables, with no WebView or HTML intermediate step. It supports tables, images, syntax highlighting, LaTeX, HTML tags, and includes an editor for live markdown highlighting in EditText.
