Appearance Customization

To customize Text styles and Views, create a new render which conform to protocol ParmaRenderable, and only reimplement those that fit your purposes. Finally, assign the customized render as a new render when create Parma view.

import Parma

struct ContentView: View {
    var markdown = "I'm **Strong**."
    
    var body: some View {
        Parma(markdown, render: MyRender())
    }
}

struct MyRender: ParmaRenderable {
    ...
}
