quillmark_core/document/mod.rs
1//! Parsing and typed in-memory model for Quillmark card-yaml documents.
2//!
3//! A [`Document`] holds a root [`Card`] plus ordered composable cards; each
4//! card carries a [`Payload`] — source-ordered items ([`PayloadItem`]:
5//! `$quill`/`$kind`/`$id` metadata, user fields, and comments, in the order
6//! they appear in the block's YAML content) — and a Markdown body.
7//! [`Document::parse`] returns errors for malformed YAML, unclosed
8//! fences, a missing root `$quill`, or unknown `$`-prefixed system keys.
9//!
10//! See [markdown-spec.md](https://github.com/borb-sh/quillmark/blob/main/prose/references/markdown-spec.md)
11//! for the card-yaml format specification.

132\u{2022} A blank line must precede every `~~~` block opener (unless it is line 1), and the opener must be at column zero (no leading spaces). An indented `~~~` is an ordinary code block, not a card.
133\u{2022} The first block is the root and MUST contain `$quill: <name>@<version>`. Its `$kind` is `main` by position \u{2014} an explicit `$kind: main` is accepted but not required. Additional blocks declare composable cards via `$kind: <card_kind>`.
134\u{2022} Reserved `$`-keys: `$quill`, `$kind`, `$id`, `$ext`, `$seed`. User fields use lowercase snake_case.
135\u{2022} Prose body is the text after a block's closing `~~~`, up to the next opener or EOF. To include a literal fenced code block in prose, use a backtick fence (```); any column-zero `~~~` block is parsed as card metadata.
136\u{2022} A field that already shows a concrete value carries a default and is shippable as-is \u{2014} keep the line, override the value, or delete it to fall back to the default. A blank or null value (`field:`, `field: null`, `field: ~`) is treated the same as omitting the field: it falls back to the default, or to the type-empty zero value.
137\u{2022} `field: !must_fill <value>` marks a placeholder awaiting your input \u{2014} replace it with a real value and drop the `!must_fill` tag before shipping. A bare `field: !must_fill` is an empty placeholder. A leftover marker never blocks rendering, but it is reported as a warning until you replace it.
138\u{2022} Numbers and booleans MUST be unquoted (`year: 2025`, `pinned: true`); quoting turns them into strings and fails validation.
139\u{2022} Plain-scalar values cannot start with `*` or `&` (YAML alias/anchor markers) and cannot contain `: ` (colon-space). For markdown emphasis, embedded colons, or other special prefixes, quote the value: `field: '**bold**'` or `field: \"Name: subtitle\"`. Multi-line values use `|-`, not multi-line quoted scalars.";
