**Typed Block System**: Complete support for text, headers, lists, code, quotes, links and images
- โ
**Robust Validation**: Comprehensive validation with error handling using `thiserror`
- โ
**Serialization**: Complete JSON support with `serde`
- โ
**UUIDs**: Unique identifiers for documents and blocks
- โ
**Metadata**: Flexible key-value metadata system
### ๐ Bidirectional Conversions
- โ
**Blocks โ Markdown**: Complete conversion with proper formatting
- โ
**Blocks โ HTML**: Conversion with character escaping and CSS classes
- โ
**Markdown โ Blocks**: Complete parser using `pulldown-cmark`
- โ
**HTML โ Blocks**: Complete parser using `scraper`
- โ
**Roundtrip**: Circular conversions maintaining consistency
### ๐ก๏ธ Security
- โ
**HTML Escaping**: Automatic escaping of special characters
- โ
**URL Validation**: Format verification for URLs in links and images

## ๐ Usage Example
```rust
use blocks::{Block, BlockType, Document, ConversionFormat, converters::Converter};
// Create document
let mut doc = Document::with_title("My Document".to_string());
// Add blocks
doc.add_block(Block::new(
BlockType::Header { level: 2 },
"Main Section".to_string()
));
doc.add_block(Block::new(
BlockType::Text,
"This is an example paragraph.".to_string()
));
// Convert to formats
let markdown = doc.to_format(ConversionFormat::Markdown)?;
let html = doc.to_format(ConversionFormat::Html)?;
// Bidirectional parser
let doc_from_md = Converter::from_markdown(&markdown)?;
let doc_from_html = Converter::from_html(&html)?;
```
