Nextcloud-deck: Use Nextcloud Text for description for appropriate markdown rendering

Of course it should work offline, too. Might need some changes in the lib itself.
Plus we need some kind of wrapper library for Android which hides the webview stuff in a custom View class so it is reusable in any Android app.

@stefan-niedermann Great! Why Do you consider using it?
I proposed it here already: https://github.com/stefan-niedermann/nextcloud-notes/issues/698
Thanks!

[stefan-niedermann]

Because the use case is different and performance is in the notes app a way more sensible topic because people use it for 10k-20k character texts. If everything goes fine at the deck app with this plan, i will reconsider it for the notes app.

Maybe you are interested in contributing here? 🙂

[jakobroehrl]

OK, fine.
I would love to do something on Android. Did my 1st Andorid PR this week with Mario. But I need a mentor here, and I would like to do first some things in the Deck Server App.

[stefan-niedermann]

Sure, whenever you have time :) Be warned though: ⚠️ Android is a bitch 😉

As discussed when https://github.com/juliushaertl/nextcloud-text is in a somehow usable state, we can look into providing an offline version that could handle the editing in a web view then. I'll keep you updated.

Since this is one of the most often requested feature - @jakobroehrl are you still interested in this topic? I can provide some guidance, we also could work on it during the Nextcloud Conference (i believe there are other people also interested) - or we could use one of the Hacking Tuesdays (are you in the talk rooms of cloud.nextcloud.com?)

I guess we need some help from @juliushaertl because according to his comment the lib does not yet have offline capabilities...

[jakobroehrl]

@stefan-niedermann I'm very interessted but I have only less time currently

[stefan-niedermann]

Maybe we can find a solt in the upcoming conference? 2020-10-06 - 2020-10-08? I am sure @juliushaertl and @tobiasKaminsky (andaybe @AndyScherzinger) are interested as well?

[stefan-niedermann]

I have started a Pull Request for a enhanced Markdown handling and tried 4 different approaches. None of them satisfies me completely, so we will have to implement and try them out further. Help is very appreciated and welcome :heart:

[stefan-niedermann]

Fixed in 1.13.1.

We decided to go for Markwon instead of Nextcloud Text because we preferred a native solution over a webview based.

This version also ships a "preview" mode which supports tables and syntax highlighting.
