Add enter, exit terms

[wooorm]

Closes GH-24.

Is this terminology we want to include in this repo?
Or is this something that should be linked to an external resource?
If the terminology is kept here, should it also be added to mdast, hast, and nlcst? Maybe remark, rehype, and retext?

Thanks for checking in!

Yes, I’m going with your last paragraph. I laid the problem out a bit in the issue: I think that adding more back-and-forth references is good.

Although, for the external resource: I can see the glossary becoming rather big, in the future it could be a different project?

[wooorm]

(for these terms, it arose because hast has a concept of “spaces” that are automatically toggled when entering and exiting, such as described here: https://github.com/syntax-tree/hast-util-to-parse5#space and in other places)

I was thinking the same thing.
With the amount of similarity between the projects, and the amount of terminology and CS theory behind it.
Having a project to centralize the documentation could be good.

Having a project to centralize the documentation could be good.

This does align with my goals a) everything is its own module and b) being welcome to other projects!
I, however, do not have a CS degree so I don’t know much about trees other than working on them the last years 😅

Would this be something like the initial section of the babel plugin handbook? Do you have other resources?

Exactly like that.

Do you have other resources?

MIT OpenCourseware, compiler design books (more), wikipedia

There are also tools for creating and organization larger documentation sites.
https://www.gitbook.com, https://docusaurus.io, and many more

A bit random, but we recommend docusaurus 😉

The next major version (still wip) https://v2.docusaurus.io/ is powered by MDX (part of unifiedjs)
