On initial load render markdown, and get markdown on type end.

[DavidGuo-stafflink]

On initial load, is there a way to feed it with markdown string value and render the markdown correctly? I had tried using ref.current.setValue method but plain string is rendered.

Also, is there a way to get the markdown after the user finish typing? So that I can submit to the server.

Thanks!

On initial load, converting markdown to html and then set the value worked for me.

After the user finish typing, converting html back to markdown worked for me.

However, the library call 'marked' which converts markdown to html required a lot of tweaking to get the correct format. The library called 'turndown' did not work in react native, so i had to convert it myself.

I am using tiptap for rich text editing in web which worked really well. In order to have the same behaviour in react native using react-native-enriched required a lot more efforts and might not have the perfect result due to markdown html conversion. I think built in markdown support just like how tiptap does it is still a good thing to have.
