Make it powerful, so users can write interesting extensions. -- 2. Make it efficient, so every type of transformation is only applied -- once and the number of traversals of the syntax tree stays -- constant no matter how many extensions the user chooses to use and -- how complex they are. -- 3. Make it easy to write extensions that are very focused in what -- they do and do not interfere with each other in weird and -- unexpected ways. -- -- I ruled out allowing users to mess with AST directly pretty quickly -- because it would be against the points 2 and 3. Instead, there are four -- kinds of extension-producing functions. They correspond internally to -- four functions that are applied to the parsed document in turn: -- -- * 'blockTrans' is applied first, as it's quite general and can change -- block-level structure of document as well as inline-level -- structure. -- * 'inlineTrans' is applied to every inline in the document obtained -- in the previous step. -- * 'inlineRender' is applied to every inline; this function produces -- HTML rendition of the inlines and we also preserve the original -- inlines so 'blockRender' can look at it (see 'Ois'). -- * 'blockRender' is applied to every block to obtain HTML rendition of -- the whole document. -- -- When one combines different extensions, extensions of the same kind get -- fused together into a single function. This allows for faster processing -- and constant number of traversals over AST in the end. -- -- One could note that the current design does not allow prepending or -- appending new elements to the AST. This is a limitation by design because -- we try to make the order in which extensions are applied not important -- (it's not always possible, though). Thus, if we want to e.g. insert a -- table of contents into a document, we need to do so by transforming an -- already existing element, such as code block with a special info string -- (this is how the extension works in the @mmark-ext@ package). -- -- Another limitation by design is that extensions cannot change how the -- parser works. I find endless syntax-changing (or syntax-augmenting, if -- you will) extensions (as implemented by Pandoc for example) ugly, because -- they erode the familiar markdown syntax and turn it into a monstrosity. -- In MMark we choose a different path of re-purposing existing markdown -- constructs, adding special meaning to them in certain situations. -- -- === Room for improvement -- -- One flaw of the current system is that it does not allow reporting -- errors, so we have to silently fallback to some default behavior when we -- can't apply an extension in a meaningful way. Such extension-produced -- errors obviously should contain their positions in the original markdown -- input, which would require us storing this information in AST in some -- way. I'm not sure if the additional complexity (and possible performance -- trade-offs) is really worth it, so it hasn't been implemented so far. {-# LANGUAGE RankNTypes #-} module Text.MMark.Extension ( -- * Extension construction Extension -- ** Block-level manipulation , Bni , Block (..) , CellAlign (..) , blockTrans , blockRender , Ois , getOis -- ** Inline-level manipulation , Inline (..) , inlineTrans , inlineRender -- * Scanner construction , scanner , scannerM -- * Utils , asPlainText , headerId , headerFragment ) where import Data.Monoid hiding ((<>)) import Lucid import Text.MMark.Type import Text.MMark.Util import qualified Control.Foldl as L -- | Create an extension that performs a transformation on 'Block's of -- markdown document.
