Overview

A recursive-descent parser for ::RDoc::RDoc markup.

The parser tokenizes an input string then parses the tokens into a Document. Documents can be converted into output formats by writing a visitor like RDoc::Markup::ToHTML.

The parser only handles the block-level constructs Paragraph, List, ListItem, Heading, Verbatim, BlankLine, Rule and BlockQuote. Inline markup such as +blah+ is handled separately by AttributeManager.

To see what markup the Parser implements read ::RDoc::RDoc. To see how to use ::RDoc::RDoc markup to format text in your program read ::RDoc::Markup.

#parse(parent, indent = 0)

Parses the tokens into an array of RDoc::Markup::XXX objects, and appends them to the passed parent RDoc::Markup::YYY object.

Exits at the end of the token stream, or when it encounters a token in a column less than indent (unless it is a NEWLINE).

Returns parent.
