Much depends on what you mean by "Markdown". The current version of the CommonMark spec https://spec.commonmark.org/0.29/ comes to 124 printed pages. Mind you, some of that is background, some of it is advice about how to parse Markdown, and a lot of it is 500 examples. If I wanted to process Markdown in Smalltalk, I'd probably use the CommonMark reference implementation in C (cmark) to convert Markdown to XML and parse the XML. Alternatively, call libcmark through the foreign function interface. On Wed, 25 Mar 2020 at 06:52, Tim Mackinnon <tim@testit.works> wrote:
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 wasnât convinced I had found one the âeveryoneâ uses (albeit, everyone might be a small sample).
Ideally I donât want to get sucked into writing another one (a project for a future time).
