Highlighted Text

[StewartLynch]

I am wondering about the need to create the private highlight function

private func highlight(_ text: String) -> Text {
    if let attributedText = try? AttributedString(markdown: text) {
      Text(attributedText)
    } else {
      Text(text)
    }
  }

Instead of

highlight(formattedTitle ?? reminder.title)
              .foregroundStyle(reminder.isCompleted ? .gray : .primary

can you not just use the following where you use the Text view initializer. This will render any markdown if it exists within the view.

Text(.init(formattedTitle ?? reminder.title))

Hi @StewartLynch, there's a chance there is a shorter way to display that markdown text in SwiftUI than what we did in the episode. We haven't fully explored all the possibilities for rendering markdown.
