Attached is the very first early version of a new Markdown Help Viewer written for Tiko. This replaces the Webview control on Windows.
Reason: Tiko is being written cross-platform and the webview control is not native on Linux. I would need a different solution or default to using web browser.
This new feature keeps me in control allowing for full F1 keyword search support and indexing of search topics. It also allows me to store the help files in industry standard, easily editable, markdown files. Simple.
I had the markdown parse engine from Python ported to FreeBASIC.
The display is actually the new underlying platform that the new Tiko is being built on.
SDK3, Blend2D, FreeType, and HarfBuzz.
When all is said and done, there will no longer be a Win32 API window based backend.
