Consider the following simple QML file:

import QtQuick
Text {
    width: 800
    height: 600
    textFormat: Text.MarkdownText
    text: "- Foo\n- [Bar](https://qt.io)\n- Baz\n"
}
 

It basically works, however, the bullet point of the last list entry is incorrectly rendered in blue (i.e. the link color with which the text in the previous list item ended):

Interestingly, using TextEdit does not yield this effect, i.e. the following works:

import QtQuick
import QtQuick.Controls

TextEdit {
    width: 800
    height: 600
    textFormat: TextEdit.MarkdownText
    text: "- Foo\n- [Bar](https://qt.io)\n- Baz\n"
}
 

By the way, this issue is probably not tied to Markdown format. See also this bug report against my app: https://gitlab.com/rpdev/opentodolist/-/issues/575

In my app, I am currently using another library to convert Markdown to HTML first and then use rich text rendering - which shows the same effect. I am currently working on this and trying to migrate to using Qt's internal Markdown rendering. When I use e.g. QTextDocument to convert Markdown to HTML first and then render it using a label, I also get the strange bullet point rendering, so it seems to be inherently in the rendering code of (read only) rich text.
