Thanks Eric - I did have a peek at Phoedown (as I did recall that announcement) but as my use case is for a generic library for testing (that I could potentially share with the wider community), I wasnât convince that needing a separate dependency would fly (for an own standalone project it did seem like a good bet and very comprehensive).

Hi Tim,
I was looking into this the other day (along with the potential native implementation) and remembered this was posted in Discord: https://github.com/PierceNg/Phoedown <https://github.com/PierceNg/Phoedown>
It uses an existing C based markdown parsing library via FFI.
Evidently, it is quite difficult to make a Markdown parser because there can be a lot of ambiguity. Would be cool to have a full Smalltalk implementation though.

Ideally I donât want to get sucked into writing another one (a project for a future time).
