html tags disappear

• Markwon version: 4.3.1

1. Please specify expected/actual behavior I want the output of <owo>Hello!</owo> <strong>ok</strong> to be unchanged but what actually happens is the html tags get removed: Hello! ok
2. Please specify conditions/steps to reproduce (layout, code, markdown used, etc)

private val markwon: Markwon = Markwon.builder(applicationContext).build()
markwon.setMarkdown(messageArea, "<owo>Hello!</owo> <whatever>ok</whatever>")

I’m trying to make a chat app so I dont want people typing in html code. Thanks!

You can sanitize input before it is persisted (save in database, sent to server) or before rendering. For example here is how to do it before rendering:

final Markwon markwon = Markwon.builder(this)
        .usePlugin(new AbstractMarkwonPlugin() {
            @NonNull
            @Override
            public String processMarkdown(@NonNull String markdown) {
                return markdown
                        .replaceAll("<", "&lt;")
                        .replaceAll(">", "&gt;");
            }
        })
        .build();

If you wish to disable links then you will have to use experimental inline parser. It is experimental because it uses some internal classes from commonmark-java but it still passes the whole commonmark test spec, so I would say it is pretty stable

final Markwon markwon = Markwon.builder(this)
        .usePlugin(MarkwonInlineParserPlugin.create())
        .usePlugin(new AbstractMarkwonPlugin() {
            @Override
            public void configure(@NonNull Registry registry) {
                registry.require(MarkwonInlineParserPlugin.class, plugin -> {
                    plugin.factoryBuilder()
                            .excludeInlineProcessor(HtmlInlineProcessor.class)
                            .excludeInlineProcessor(OpenBracketInlineProcessor.class);
                });
            }
        })
        .build();
