🚀 Quick Start

Basic example:

use oak_markdown::MarkdownParser;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let parser = MarkdownParser::new();
    let markdown = r#"# Hello World

This is a **bold** statement and this is *italic* text.

## Features

- First item
- Second item
- Third item

[Link to documentation](https://docs.rs/oak-markdown)"#;
    
    let document = parser.parse(markdown)?;
    println!("Parsed {} blocks", document.blocks.len());
    Ok(())
}

📋 Parsing Examples

Document Structure

use oak_markdown::{MarkdownParser, ast::Block};

let parser = MarkdownParser::new();
let markdown = r#"# Main Title

## Section 1

This is the first paragraph with **bold** and *italic* text.

### Subsection

Here's a [link](https://example.com) and some `inline code`.

## Section 2

- List item 1
- List item 2
- List item 3"#;

let document = parser.parse(markdown)?;
for block in &document.blocks {
    match block {
        Block::Heading(heading) => {
            println!("Heading level {}: {}", heading.level, heading.text);
        }
        Block::Paragraph(paragraph) => {
            println!("Paragraph with {} inline elements", paragraph.inlines.len());
        }
        _ => {}
    }
}

Table Parsing

use oak_markdown::{MarkdownParser, ast::Block};

let parser = MarkdownParser::new();
let markdown = r#"| Name | Age | City |
|------|-----|------|
| Alice | 25 | New York |
| Bob | 30 | London |
| Carol | 28 | Tokyo |

## Code Block

```rust
fn main() {
    println!("Hello, World!");
}
```"#;

let document = parser.parse(markdown)?;
for block in &document.blocks {
    match block {
        Block::Table(table) => {
            println!("Table with {} rows and {} columns", 
                table.rows.len(), table.headers.len());
        }
        Block::CodeBlock(code) => {
            println!("Code block ({}): {}", code.language.as_deref().unwrap_or("text"), code.content);
        }
        _ => {}
    }
}

Task Lists and Extensions

use oak_markdown::{MarkdownParser, ast::Block, extensions::Extensions};

let mut parser = MarkdownParser::new();
parser.enable_extensions(Extensions::all());

let document = parser.parse(markdown)?;
for block in &document.blocks {
    match block {
        Block::List(list) => {
            println!("List with {} items:", list.items.len());
            for item in &list.items {
                if let Some(checked) = item.checked {
                    println!("  - [{}] {}", 
                        if checked { "x" } else { " " }, 
                        item.text);
                }
            }
        }
        _ => {}
    }

🔧 Advanced Features

Custom Extensions

use oak_markdown::{MarkdownParser, extensions::Extension};

struct CustomEmojiExtension;

impl Extension for CustomEmojiExtension {
    fn name(&self) -> &str { "custom_emoji" }
    
    fn process_inline(&self, text: &str) -> Option<Vec<ast::Inline>> {
        // Convert :smile: to emoji
        if text.contains(":smile:") {
            Some(vec![ast::Inline::Text("😊".to_string())])
        } else {
            None
        }
    }
}

let mut parser = MarkdownParser::new();
parser.add_extension(Box::new(CustomEmojiExtension));

let markdown = "Hello :smile: World!";
let document = parser.parse(markdown)?;

AST Manipulation

use oak_markdown::{MarkdownParser, ast::{Block, Document}};

let parser = MarkdownParser::new();
let markdown = "# Original Title\n\nOriginal content.";
let mut document = parser.parse(markdown)?;

// Add a new heading
document.blocks.push(Block::Heading(ast::Heading {
    level: 2,
    text: "Added Section".to_string(),
    inlines: vec![ast::Inline::Text("Added Section".to_string())]
}));

// Serialize back to markdown
let new_markdown = document.to_markdown();
println!("Modified markdown:\n{}", new_markdown);

HTML Generation

use oak_markdown::{MarkdownParser, html::HtmlRenderer};

let parser = MarkdownParser::new();
let markdown = r#"# Document Title

This is a paragraph with **bold** text.

- List item 1
- List item 2

[Link](https://example.com)"#;

let document = parser.parse(markdown)?;
let renderer = HtmlRenderer::new();
let html = renderer.render(&document)?;

println!("Generated HTML:\n{}", html);

🏗️ AST Structure

The parser generates a comprehensive AST with the following main structures:

• Document: Root container with metadata and blocks
• Blocks: Headings, paragraphs, lists, code blocks, tables, blockquotes
• Inlines: Text, emphasis, strong, code, links, images
• Extensions: Tables, task lists, strikethrough, autolinks

📊 Performance

• Streaming: Parse large Markdown documents efficiently
• Incremental: Re-parse only changed sections
• Fast Recovery: Quick error recovery for better IDE integration
• Memory Efficient: Minimal memory footprint for large documents

🔗 Integration

Oak of markdown integrates seamlessly with:

• Static Site Generators: Convert Markdown to HTML for websites
• Documentation Tools: Parse documentation in Markdown format
