I might take another stab at this, but at the moment I no longer plan on developing this.
Marc-Cup is a lua parser for a simple custom markup language.
I will use this library as a way to render my blog articles, so the features will mostly only suit my needs, but if you have an idea on how to improve the parser and/or features, feel free to create an issue for it!
- Paragraphs, separated by an empty line
- Titles, using the markdown
#, ##, …syntax for the different levels - Inline code, using the markdown syntax
`inline code`, with \ to escape backticks (and only backticks) - Block of code, using something close to the markdown syntax, allowing to add numbers to the lines. Note that those have to be on an independant paragraph (surounded by empty lines).
```language:starting_line
code
code
```
- Links, using the markdown
[description](url)syntax - Emphasis, with brackets, allowing nested emphases
{like {this}.}
Marc is the french word for coffee grounds. Since my username has coffee in it, and it sounds like markup, I figured Marc-Cup would be an okay pun.
