The new Markdown component works well. A small issue is that hyperlinks inside list items are not styled and thus not visible (but they are working). This can be easily tested by adding the list identifier (dash plus bland) in front of the last line in the default Markdown text.

To further explain, here is (the default) Markdown text with the same link in a list item and in a paragraph:

–

## Markdown

Right-click on this text and choose _\*Edit Markdown\*_ from the contextual menu to show the Markdown editor.

When this Markdown is rendered in Elements / Safari, the result looks as follows:

–

As one can see, the hyperlink in the list item is not styled while it is in the paragraph below. Is it possible to fix this in the Markdown component? Or maybe there is a tailwind CSS styling possible in the ‘Advanced’ section to style the link in the list item?

Best wishes,

Rainer

That’s correct. You need to add a Advanced CSS notation to style the link within links.

What we really need is a fairly full list of these, and I’m not sure we have them all yet.
