Feature Request: Please add the feature of Bold and Strikthrough rendering of text

[prateekamana]

[ttscoff]

Bold should already get a different color if your theme is set up properly. Not all terminals can support bold fonts, so it doesn’t attempt to do that. I’m not sure how you’d expect strikethrough to render.

Thanks for the response Brett, I just found Glow markdown reader today https://github.com/charmbracelet/glow And it achieves both strikethrough and bold somehow, I'm not smart enough to figure out how it exactly works or else I'd contribute, but it could be a cool feature right?

[ttscoff]

Interesting. Yeah, that could be cool, might have to deconstruct to see how it's done. There might an ANSI escape code for strikethrough I'm forgetting about…

FYI, though, I tested bold text in mdless and in my terminal it showed with bright white and bold. In addition to your terminal and theme settings, it could also be affected by your terminal color settings (whether bright is supported) and the font you use (whether bold is supported).

Oh, and now I'm looking at your screenshot and realizing it's not parsing that at all. Is there a hard line break in the middle of the bolded text? It's not designed to parse multi-line bold text.

My md :

2. ~~Get FL Studio on Linux working and investigate the prospects of music production on linux~~

Right, I don't expect any of the strikethrough text to render at this point as the syntax isn't recognized by mdless. I'm just trying to figure out why the ** text in your original screenshot isn't rendering.

Please ignore the indentations and whitespace messups, they must just be because of terminal resizing that I did.

Ah, I'm sorry I forgot my example doesn't have a bold text.

# TOHAPPEN [14-04-2022]
1. **Solve the trigger issue ASAP**

3. Make a finger drumming plan
4. Make a piano learning plan

Huh, apparently it's not parsing bold within a list item. Will have to dig into that. It works fine outside in a paragraph or block quote.

FYI, it may not be related but bold, italic and bold-italic also have a more general issue in that they seem to require newline, whitespace or punctuation before the open and after the close so it doesn't properly render legal markdown like ***x***inu ***i***s ***n***ot ***u***nix xinu is not unix

[ttscoff]

Because mdless doesn't have a fully tokenized parser, detecting emphasis in the middle of a word is problematic because something like file_name or any_underscored_word causes errors, especially when the emphasis marker isn't paired. mdless is designed to be a convenience for quickly viewing Markdown files, not necessarily a fully fledged Markdown engine.
