I think it's somehow relates to https://github.com/mk-5/fjira/issues/55

I will take this up soon - the problem is not that trival .. because tcell doesn't support any kind of markdown formatting.

Glad to hear! I'm not entirely sure it's the same issue, as the tables have this weird adf json-like structure. I'd definitely agree with the old table format that used the | characters.

But in all honesty, I don't really know how tcell works so I may be shooting in the dark.

@trincasidra it's plus-minus about parsing markdown, and render it in tcell. So I need to do some selection - which markdown tags will be supported from the beginning.

I'm thinking about:

• list
• basic fonts tags like bold, italic
• links
• tables

I'll take it up soon - but first I'd like to take&close this one: https://github.com/mk-5/fjira/issues/93

Totally agree, no worries!
