A Swift library that converts Markdown files and strings into NSAttributedStrings with extensive customization options. It supports Apple platforms with dynamic type, Dark Mode, and a rules-based tokenisation engine for headings, lists, links, images, code blocks, and blockquotes.

Use cases

• render markdown text in a UILabel or UITextView
• convert markdown strings to attributed strings in an iOS app
• display markdown files bundled with an app
• customize fonts and styles for markdown rendering on Apple platforms
• support dark mode when showing markdown content
• parse markdown with lists, blockquotes, and code blocks in Swift

When to choose

• you need to render Markdown natively in iOS, macOS, tvOS, or watchOS apps
• you want NSAttributedString output for UIKit or AppKit text controls
• you need Dynamic Type and Dark Mode support out of the box
• you want a pure Swift, lightweight Markdown-to-attributed-string converter

When to avoid

• you need full CommonMark compliance or complex Markdown extensions like tables or footnotes
• you are targeting non-Apple platforms
• you need HTML or cross-platform rendering like WebKit-based views
• you need to convert Markdown to formats other than attributed strings
