djot-rs

UPDATE:

This didn't went particularly far, checkout

https://github.com/hellux/jotdown

instead.

An experimental Rust implementation of the Djot light markup language.

Design Rules

Djot is in development, this defines current design rules:

1. 100% compatibility with the reference Lua implementation, bugs and all. We don't want to fork a language which barely exist.
2. Reasonable source compatibility with the reference Lua implementation. We want to makes it easy to incorporate changes, though we don't necessary want to bend Rust to be lua.

Currently this is very incomplete, feel free to submit PR to fill the blank spaces, just try to be close to the original code.

There are some tests, run with cargo test. We are using the same test suite as the upstream project (see .test files in tests/data)

Aspirations

• "Easy", obvious API -- no streaming parsing, no allocation minimization, just gives you a full ast
• core + alloc. We don't need OS. Getting rid of the allocator would be nice, but not for this library.
• in general, leave pulldown-djot to someone else (or to the next iteration of this library)
• djot.ts module for convenience
• typescript extensible visitor API for rendering: ./djot.ts intput.adoc --template slides.ts ast.to_html({ code_block: (tag) => { ... }}).
