damascene-markdown

Markdown → Damascene El transformer.

use damascene_core::prelude::*;
use damascene_markdown::md;

let tree: El = md("# Hi\n\nHello **world** with [a link](https://damascene.dev).");

Markdown is defined as a transformation to HTML, and Damascene's widget kit already echoes most of HTML's shape (text_runs ≈ <p>, hard_break ≈ <br>, span modifiers ≈ inline tags, bullet_list ≈ <ul>, code_block ≈ <pre><code>, …). The transformer walks pulldown-cmark's streaming event API and assembles an El tree out of those primitives — a column of blocks an author would have written by hand. The rendered output behaves like any other Damascene tree: themed surfaces, selection, hit-test, layout, lint.

Supported: headings, paragraphs with the full inline set, bulleted / numbered / GFM task lists (nested), block quotes, fenced + indented code blocks, horizontal rules, GFM tables, and image alt-text placeholders. md_with_options exposes output-changing parser extensions (smart punctuation, GFM alert blockquotes).

Features

• highlighting (default) — fenced code blocks with a recognised language tag are tokenized through syntect (pure Rust, no C onig) and colored with Damascene palette tokens, so a theme swap recolours the syntax run automatically. default-features = false opts out and shrinks the dependency surface.
• math via MarkdownOptions::math(true) — $…$ / $$…$$ expressions render through damascene_core::math's native box layout (no webview, no raster round-trip). The current slice covers a focused TeX subset: rows, identifiers / numbers / operators, \frac, \sqrt, superscripts, subscripts.
• html (default-off) — routes inline/block HTML events through the damascene-html transformer instead of dropping them.

The full behaviour contract lives in the crate rustdoc: docs.rs/damascene-markdown.
