I\'m currently working on a Flex 3.0 project in which I have to display some input text with minimum formatting.
We are considering to use \"markdown\" as the chosen way
You could use my AS3 port of John Fraser's Showdown.
// Usage: var text = "Markdown *rocks*."; var html = Showdown.makeHtml(text); // <p>Markdown <em>rocks</em>.</p>
