//! Recursive emphasis parsing using Pandoc's algorithm.
//!
//! This module implements emphasis/strong emphasis parsing using a recursive
//! descent approach based on Pandoc's Haskell implementation in
//! `Readers/Markdown.hs:L1662-L1722`.
//!
//! **Key algorithm**: Left-to-right, greedy, first-match wins
//! 1. Parse text left-to-right
//! 2. When we see delimiters, try to parse emphasis (look for matching closer)
//! 3. If successful, emit emphasis node and continue from after closer
//! 4. If failed (no closer found), emit delimiter as literal and continue
//! 5. Nested emphasis is handled naturally by recursive parsing of content
//!
//! **Example**: `*foo **bar* baz**`
//! - See `*`, try to parse EMPH
//! - Parse content: see `**`, try to parse STRONG
//! - STRONG finds closer `**` at end → succeeds, emits STRONG[bar* baz]
//! - Outer `*` can't find closer (all delimiters consumed) → fails, emits `*foo` as literal
//! - Result: `*foo` + STRONG[bar* baz]
//!
//! This matches Pandoc's behavior exactly.
