I just gave kmarkdownwebview a try, and it could cope at least with the example
given here. Not working at all was not a bug I can remember about that one,
usually it was issues with having it properly configured to be the part to use,
or e.g. kate failing to yet detect the markdown format of a file for which
preview was wanted.

Sorry, myself out of business here when it comes to markdown, and the
markdownpart is only "community-maintained"  now, so no-one actively driving ti
forward, but at best fixing things where easily possible.

This needs new human resources :)

Please do, as I have no own motivation here.

Sorry to hear that. The disadvantage of relying on an upstream project, even
more with the locked situation around Qt 5.15 :/

In a perfect world someone would fork the markdown parsing out of Qt and drive
it forwards in an indeoendant project. Using QTextDocument itself for rendering
as before should be fine though.
