Changes from blackfriday
This library is derived from blackfriday library. Here's a list of changes.
Redesigned API
- split into 3 separate packages: ast, parser and html (for html renderer). This makes the API more manageable. It also separates e.g. parser option from renderer options
- changed how AST node is represented from union-like representation (manually keeping track of the type of the node) to using interface{} (which is a Go way to combine an arbitrary value with its type)
Allow re-using most of html renderer logic
You can implement your own renderer by implementing Renderer interface.
Implementing a full renderer is a lot of work and often you just want to tweak html rendering of few node typs.
I've added a way to hook Renderer.Render function in html renderer with a custom function that can take over rendering of specific nodes.
I use it myself to do syntax-highlighting of code snippets.
Speed up go test
Running go test was really slow (17 secs) because it did a poor man's version of fuzzing by feeding the parser all subsets of test strings in order to find panics
due to incorrect parsing logic.
I've moved that logic to cmd/crashtest, so that it can be run on CI but not slow down regular development.
Now go test is blazing fast.
