To convert Markdown to SwiftUI text, you can use SwiftUI's Text view to display text content. SwiftUI does not directly support Markdown syntax, but you can manually format the text using SwiftUI's text modifiers. Here's a basic example of how you might convert Markdown to SwiftUI text:
import SwiftUI
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
VStack(alignment: .leading) {
Text("**Bold Text**")
.fontWeight(.bold)
Text("_Italic Text_")
.italic()
Text("[Link](https://www.example.com)")
.underline()
.foregroundColor(.blue)
}
.padding()
}
}
In this example, Markdown elements like bold and italic are manually styled using SwiftUI's text modifiers such as .fontWeight(.bold) and .italic(). Links can be styled with .underline() and a color to simulate a hyperlink appearance.
For more advanced Markdown rendering, you might need to use a third-party library or custom parsing logic to interpret Markdown syntax and apply the appropriate SwiftUI text modifiers.
