Expand description
The concrete syntax tree of a Links Notation document.
Every byte of a document belongs to exactly one token, so the text of the
tree is the document itself, comments, blank lines, indentation, quotes and
line endings included. A document is a list of line nodes; a line holds the
tokens up to and including its line ending, and a parenthesized group node
holds its own parentheses and the lines written between them. A group is part
of the line it opens on, however many lines it spans.
The tree records how a document was written; parse_lino_to_links reads
what it means. They agree because a document is parsed before its tree is
built, and the tokens are read with the same rules the parser uses: comments
are found by strip_comments, delimited references by the parser’s own
reader and versioned literals by the same prefix.
