This artifact encapsulates HTML parsing from the core artifact and provides few predefined TagHandlers

final Markwon markwon = Markwon.builder(context)
        .usePlugin(HtmlPlugin.create())
        .build();

As this artifact brings modified jsoup library it was moved to a standalone module in order to minimize dependencies and unused code in applications that does not require HTML render capabilities.

Before 2.0.0 Markwon used android Html class for parsing and rendering. Unfortunately, according to markdown specification, markdown can contain HTML in unpredictable way if rendered outside of browser. For example:

<i>
Hello from italics tag

</i><b>bold></b>

This snippet could be represented as:

HtmlBlock (<i>\nHello from italics tag)
HtmlInline (<i>)
HtmlInline (<b>)
Text (bold)
HtmlInline (</b>)

A bit of background

This issue had brought attention to differences between HTML & commonmark implementations.

Unfortunately Android HTML class cannot parse a fragment of HTML to later be included in a bigger set of content. This is why the decision was made to bring HTML parsing in-markwon-house

Predefined TagHandlers

<img>
<a>
<blockquote>
<sub>
<sup>
<b>, <strong>
<s>, <del>
<u>, <ins>
<ul>, <ol>
<i>, <cite>, <em>, <dfn>
<h1>, <h2>, <h3>, <h4>, <h5>, <h6>

TIP

All predefined tag handlers will use styling spans for native markdown content. So, if your Markwon instance was configured to, for example, render Emphasis nodes as a red text then HTML tag handler will use the same span. This includes images, links, UrlResolver, LinkProcessor, etc

To learn more about defining own TagHandlers, please refer to html-renderer docs
