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 wasn���t 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:

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.

Hi guys - do we have a simple markdown parser that is reasonably up to date? I did a quick GitHub scan and a few popped out, but I wasn���t convinced I had found one the ���everyone��� uses (albeit, everyone might be a small sample).

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