[BUG] Rendering Inline Color to render Markdown is not working

[aiventures]

- [X] I've checked docs and closed issues for possible solutions.

• I can't find my issue in the FAQ.

Hi, rich is great! Maybe you can help me on this here.
I checked yout issue collection and the internet, but found nothing, so I decided to post an issue.

My use case is rendering different colors, icons and markdown using inline Markdown code

The Options I tried is summarized in following ready to run sample code:

# Issue with Markdown Class
# VERSIONS:
# WINDOWS OS in NEW COMMAND LINE EDITO + BASH
# Python 3.11.1
# rich                      12.6.0
[Diagnosis_Data.txt](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/18135496/Diagnosis_Data.txt)

# rich-cli                  1.8.0
# rich-rst                  1.3.1

from rich.console import Console
from rich.markdown import Markdown
from rich.text import Text
from rich.table import Table
from rich.emoji import Emoji
import re

print("------------")
# I also tested Options using color system
console = Console()
# this is my use case: markdown with ,multiple colors and icons in one line
s = f"An [red]APPLE[/red] :apple: keeps the [blue]DOCTOR[/blue] away "
# you might also uncomment emoji conversion / has no effect on issue when deactivated
s = Emoji.replace(s)
s_out = [f"* CASE 1 (print)                   {s}",
         f"* CASE 2 (MARKDOWN inline -error)  {s}",
         f"* CASE 3 (Using Text with style)   {s}",
         f"* CASE 4 (Using Text using markup) {s}",
         f"* CASE 5 (Using markup fix)        {s}",
         f"* CASE 6 (MARKDOWN workaround)     {s}"]

# CASE 1 Test plain rendering
console.print(s_out[0])

# CASE 2 Using MARKDOWN, ERROR JUST SHOWS BRACKETS
# inline_code_lexer has no effect for my use case 
# code_theme has no effect for my use case
console.print(Markdown(s_out[1],inline_code_lexer="python"))

# CASE 3 Try Using Text as intermediate workaround doesn't work 
t = Text(s_out[2],style="red")
# this demonstrates the working of markup for print but not in MarkDown format 
# console.print(Markdown(t.markup)) # will also lead to non coloring ... 
console.print(t.markup)

# CASE 4 Try Using Text with markup
markup = Text(s_out[3]).markup
console.print(markup)

# CASE 5 Try Using rendering with an ugly workaround 
# Note markup value in debugger shows up as follows (escaping the brackets "[" "):
# '* CASE 4 (Using Text using markup) An \\[red]APPLE\\[/red] 🍎 keeps the \\[blue]DOCTOR\\[/blue] away '
markup = Text(s_out[4]).markup
markup_fix = re.sub("\\\\\[","[",markup)
console.print(markup_fix)

# CASE 6 Using the fix to get a working Markdown
markup = Text(s_out[5]).markup
markup_fix = re.sub("\\\\\[","[",markup)
console.print(Markdown(markup_fix))
print("------------")

What I get as output

Issue description

• Software / OS Versions in sample code
• Color rendering is ok for using text, but not markup (Case 1,Case 5)
• Code keeps running against the wall ignoring [color]..[/color] inline code when trying to use Markdown(...)
• Converting it to Text and getting back str using Markdown(Text(...).markup) / try to fiddle with escaping (= dropping the extra \ escape char in front of [ ) won't also help (Case 6)
• Also attached Diagnosis data. Color Rendering works, but not for Markdown.

This is only a pet project, so It's not a pressing issue ...

Thanks !

Rich's console markup and Markdown are two entirely unrelated markups. I wouldn't expect them to work together.

That said, if you want to create this hybrid markup system, I would make a copy of the Markdown class and adjust it to allow console markup.

Thanks @willmcgugan that was a quicl response. Will consider adapting.
However it "looks" for me like it would be natural to use Markdown("[color]...") to link both system together. Ok, will close the issue. Thanks and have good week end.
