@nerocui can you give us a bit of an update as we're 3 months on from your initial post above, as to what you think the current state of the MarkdownTextBlock is? I've installed the pre-release '0.1.240517-build.1678' version to take a look at it, can already see some interesting issues with rendering code blocks and when the MarkdownTextBlock is inside of data templates, although still testing as to whether that's an issue specific to being inside of a data template or something related to binding. |

MarkdownTextBlock
Problem Statement
The existing MarkdownTextBlock in the toolkit is old and out of maintenance. It's based on custom parser code and the users have been requesting more features and bug fixes.
Proposed Solution
Since in .NET ecosystem, there's already an existing state of the art markdown library, Markdig, it'd be in our best interest to integrate that into a new MarkdownTextBlock and explore the various possibilities it brings.
