parsemd

Monadic markdown parser written in Haskell, built from scratch without libraries.

Bit of history

Coming from Go and Python, Haskell's type system and purely functional approach was a different mental model. I wrote this to gain Haskell experience and learn how to structure a parser using only Functor, Applicative, and Monad instances.

What works:

  • Headings
  • Paragraphs
  • Blockqotes
  • Horizontal rules
  • Bold
  • Italic
  • Inline code
  • Links
  • Strikethrough
  • Ordered/Unordered lists
  • Code blocks

Usage

Reads stdin

cabal run

TODO

  • Recursive list parsing
  • Escape characters (e.g. \*text\*)
  • HTML output
