Style Spans not applied in editor

• Markwon version: 4.3.1

1. As per the demo & instructions, I wrote down code to listen for TextChange and apply the markdown style.
2. Even though the asterisk char’s color changed, the bold did not get applied.

Here are my dependencies,

    implementation "io.noties.markwon:core:$markwon_version"
    implementation "io.noties.markwon:editor:$markwon_version"
    implementation "io.noties.markwon:ext-strikethrough:$markwon_version"
    implementation "io.noties.markwon:ext-tables:$markwon_version"
    implementation "io.noties.markwon:ext-tasklist:$markwon_version"
    implementation "io.noties.markwon:html:$markwon_version"
    implementation "io.noties.markwon:image:$markwon_version"
    implementation "io.noties.markwon:image-glide:$markwon_version"
    implementation "io.noties.markwon:linkify:$markwon_version"
    implementation "io.noties.markwon:simple-ext:$markwon_version"
    implementation "io.noties.markwon:inline-parser:$markwon_version"

layout XML,

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatEditText
        android:id="@+id/editor"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:autofillHints="none"
        android:gravity="start|top"
        android:inputType="text|textLongMessage|textMultiLine" />

</RelativeLayout>

Am I doing something wrong…

Hello @shivakumars !

This actually is a bug. I’ve looked at it briefly and it seems to be caused by a single new-line in markdown to be treated as a space. Text diffing fails (it considers **\n** to be replaced with a ) and thus second span receives wrong position. This can be solved with markdown treating soft breaks as new lines. For example:

final Markwon markwon = Markwon.builder(this)
        /* your other plugins */
        .usePlugin(SoftBreakAddsNewLinePlugin.create())
        .build();

Of cause this would mean that in display/preview mode this markdown should also treat soft breaks as new lines, otherwise content will be different
