Does react-native-markdown-display support code syntax highlighting?

Yes, use the markdownit prop to disable specific types, such as passing MarkdownIt().disable(['link']), or override the onLinkPress handler to prevent default behavior, both methods are documented in the README.

Question 6

Why is my Markdown styling not working in React Native?

Accepted Answer

Ensure styles are applied correctly using the style prop and check the mergeStyle setting. The README warns that text styling doesn't affect all elements uniformly, so adjust body or specific rules as needed.
