Flatiron

A parser and HTML renderer for the Textile markup language , written in rust.

"she's an outlaw loose and runnin' came the whisper from each lip, and she's here to do ~~REDACTED~~ with the flatiron on her hip..." 🎵

Principles

"It should do what it says on the iron!" -- Autumn, just now, writing this.

Flatiron aims to be:

Simple -- It's just a flat piece of iron with a handle on it! You heat it up! It works!
Sturdy -- Made of iron alloyed with pure XHTML!
Opinionated -- A flatiron that knows how to center images! How? don't ask me!
Better than that other guy's -- No wait you don't get it, the rust makes it safer to use!

The flatiron can be warmed on a hot pipe:
