Format the *.md files in the repository manager #65

Hi,

I have seen that if there is a readme file at the root of a repository, it is displayed in the repository manager. It would be nice to have the displayed content formatted if the file contains Markdown syntax.

Yes, that would be great addition.

Example project: https://github.com/sindresorhus/refined-github#readme

@jerone this is a good example why I don’t introduce the Markdown rendering.

Check the code. It’s not markdown! https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sindresorhus/refined-github/master/readme.md

Unfortunately I don’t see any easy way to render that.

@TanyaPristupova It's GFM.

I'm guessing you are using C#, try Markdig.

TanyaPristupova commented 5 years ago

We tried it already some time ago and the result was pretty bad.

I’ll try it again later and post what I get here.

I guess this is a 'nice to have ' as the entire point of MD is that the source is human readable too :)

PS I've head good things about Markdig which support CommonMark.

@TanyaPristupova I've had good results using https://github.com/Kryptos-FR/markdig.wpf (which uses Markdig). One tricky step might be to adapt the style to make it work correctly with the light and the dark themes.

Is there any progress on this issue? I found a code repository, not sure if it would be helpful for this issue.
