Text now supports basic Markdown!

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Text("Regular")
            Text("*Italics*")
            Text("**Bold**")
            Text("~Strikethrough~")
            Text("`Code`")
            Text("[Link](https://apple.com)")
            Text("***[They](https://apple.com) ~are~ `combinable`***")
        }
    }
}

Result:

Update: If you store markdown as a String, it won’t render — instead, set the type to be LocalizedStringKey.

struct ContentView: View {
    @State var textWithMarkdown: LocalizedStringKey = "***[They](https://apple.com) ~are~ `combinable`***"

    var body: some View {
        Text(textWithMarkdown)
    }
}

Result:
