markdown-link 0.5.2

//! The body link scanner: every link in a body, with its byte span.
//!
//! [`crate::body_links`] is this scanner with the spans dropped. The rules for
//! a markdown link are delegated ([`crate::is_vault_link_url`],
//! [`crate::md_link_target`]) rather than restated: two spellings of "is this
//! a link" is how two scanners start disagreeing about what the vault
//! contains.

/// Code is blanked before matching, `[[` never nests, and a markdown link

/// scheme. The span is what an editor decoration, a hover preview and a
/// rename's link rewrite need: which bytes to touch.
///
/// # Why the offsets need a char table
///
/// [`strip_code`] preserves the **character** count of its input, not the byte
/// count — a multi-byte char inside a code span comes back as a one-byte space.
/// So a position found in the stripped text is a valid char index into the
/// original and never a valid byte index, and the two tables below are what
/// convert. Scanning the original directly is not an option: that is how
/// `[[example]]` inside a fenced block becomes a link.

/// ```
/// use markdown_link::{BodyLinkKind, body_links_spanned};

/// let body = "é ![[img.png|300]] and [[Note#h|alias]]";
