//! Strong+emphasis (triple delimiter) grammar
//!
//! This is a small extension on top of our CommonMark-like emphasis/strong
//! handling.
//!
//! Parses:
//! - `***text***`
//! - `___text___`
//!
//! Returning the content span between the delimiters (without the delimiters).

use nom::{IResult, Input};

/// Parse combined strong+emphasis using triple delimiters.
///
/// # Grammar
/// `***text***` or `___text___` where text cannot be empty.
///
/// This parser is intentionally conservative and does not attempt to fully
/// implement the CommonMark delimiter algorithm. It exists to ensure that the
/// "triple delimiter" case is parsed as a single inline node rather than as
/// a strong node plus a dangling delimiter.
