packdiff-dto 0.3.5

The packdiff data model: diff + review documents, parser, operations, exports. Pure logic, no I/O.
Documentation
//! Minimal, safety-first Markdown → HTML: used for comment bodies and for
//! the rendered view of markdown files on the generated page.
//!
//! Safety by construction: every input character is HTML-escaped first; the
//! only tags in the output are the ones this module emits, and link targets
//! are restricted to `http://` / `https://` / `mailto:` — hostile input
//! cannot smuggle markup or `javascript:` URLs.
//!
//! Deliberately a SUBSET (documented in docs/PAGE.md): ATX headings, fenced
//! code blocks, flat (non-nested) lists, blockquotes, thematic breaks,
//! paragraphs; inline `` `code` ``, `**bold**`, `*italic*`, and
//! `[links](https://…)`. Underscores are NOT emphasis, so `snake_case`
//! identifiers survive verbatim. A single newline inside a paragraph is a
//! hard break, matching how people write review comments.
