nertivia-markup v0.12.1

nertivia markup

A (relatively) simple and (hopefully) performant markup parser made for nertivia.

Please note, this is not a markdown parser, this is its own special markup format, a specification for this format is a work in progress.

This project has grown out of a need for a relatively simple renderer agnostic, reasonably performant markup parser with a relatively small code size.

Features

renderer agnostic

The outputted entity format is fairly simple and has been designed to make it easy to make renderers for

relatively simple

This may change over time, but for now it only parses a fairly restricted set of rules intented to make sense

An example of this is the italic syntax, // looks slanted like italicized text and two slashes are used to be consistent with other rules and to make it easier to avoid conflicts with other text

reasonably performant

see: Benchmarks

Benchmarks

Just to be clear, many types of benchmarks will favour this markup because of it's smaller surface area compared to something like a full markdown parser.
