JEP 467 which is included in JDK 23 introduces Markdown documentation comments. This pull request implements support for these in JavaDocletMeta by converting the markdown to HTML by using the CommonMark library. Inline javadoc tags are processed in the usual way, producing the respective tags.
It is not planned to provide markdown in the generated metadata json files directly.
This feature has been implemented as a draft pull request because it requires APIs introduced in JDK 23 and can therefore only be merged, once JavaDocletMeta updates to the upcoming LTS version.
