I have a simple question. Can you please explain briefly, how to convert a Markup string to AttributedString using this lib? Ideally, with a simple function call. I scrolled the documentation and found that it specialised on DOM model, which is overkill for my case. But probably the function I'm looking for is hidden somewhere.

Hi @kvaDrug, there is an AttributedString API in Foundation that takes a Markdown string: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/attributedstring/instantiating_attributed_strings_with_markdown_syntax. You don't need to import Swift-Markdown to use it.

@franklinsch, unfortunately it works only on iOS 15 or later. I'll consult my manager whether he want's to ditch 14. Meanwhile I'm looking for solution which is compatible with this version.
