Hmm I hadn���t even thought of Xstreams��� I always thought it sounded cool, perhaps its a place to start - but as you mention, I���m not sure it really gained traction in the Pharo world. My use case is quite simple as the markdown files are simple configuration (and maybe don���t even need a parser - e.g. https://github.com/servirtium/demo-java-climate-tck/blob/master/src/test/mocks/averageRainfallForEgyptFrom1980to1999Exists.md). I was hoping there might be something simple I could run with to help explore how best to use the config in those files.

Lets see if anyone else mentions something that���s a no-brainer.

I do not know if it works on Pharo, but XTreams has a XTreams-Parsing section that I am currently working with. The existing Wikitext grammar was my starting point .


the existing Grammar is under:

XTreams-Parsing -> PEGParser > grammars->grammarWiki


Use case is:


| wikiGrammar wikiParser output|
Transcript clear.
wikiGrammar := PEGParser grammarWiki reading positioning.
wikiParser := PEGParser parserPEG parse: 'Grammar' stream: wikiGrammar actor: PEGParserParser new.
input := (your string input goes here)
output := wikiParser parse: 'Page' stream: input actor: PEGWikiGenerator new.
output inspect.

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).
