In the Google Book Details panel it's impossible to highlight/select the description-text.
That's because currently the rendering is done by a MarkdownView (and because of that the HTML description needs be converted into markdown at the first step -> bad performance).
Suggestion:
Use a WebView to render the content. That's now possible because in JavaFX 18 it's possible to make it's background transparent.
Benefits:
Improved performance (no need to convert html to markdown), can get rid of the jHtml2Md dependency
The WebView allows to highlight selected text
Drawback(s):
It will be harder to make the web-content synchronous with the Theme
Solution:
The WebEngineallows to set a user-stylesheet (containing web-css)
The Theme class should provide a web-view stylesheet (e.g by a getSimpleWebViewStylesheet(): String)
