Is DailyTags better for performance than using a WebView?

Yes, because it parses text directly into native Compose AnnotatedStrings, it is significantly faster, uses less memory, and provides a more seamless native feel than a WebView.

Can I use both Markdown and HTML rules together?

Yes, DailyTags allows you to combine MarkdownRules and HtmlRules into a single list for the parser, enabling support for both formats in the same text string.

What is the minimum API level supported?

The DailyTags library requires Android API Level 23 or higher.

Does DailyTags support rendering images or tables?

No, DailyTags is strictly a text-content library. It cannot render images, tables, or interactive checkboxes; these elements must be handled using standard Compose components in a hybrid layout.

How do I make links clickable using this skill?

DailyTags handles the styling of links, but they are not clickable by default. To add interactivity, you should use the resulting AnnotatedString within a ClickableText composable or a modern Text composable with LinkAnnotation.
