DESCRIPTION

This class provides the primary interface for creating a parser. It ties a block and span parser together with a handler.

By default, it will parse the standard Markdown dialect, but you can provide alternate block or span parser classes.

METHODS

This class provides the following methods:

Markdent::Parser->new(...)

This method creates a new parser. It accepts the following parameters:

• block_parser_class => $class

  This default to Markdent::Dialect::Standard::BlockParser, but can be any class which implements the Markdent::Role::BlockParser role.

• span_parser_class => $class

  This default to Markdent::Dialect::Standard::SpanParser, but can be any class which implements the Markdent::Role::SpanParser role.

• handler => $handler

  This can be any object which implements the Markdent::Role::Handler role. It is required.

$parser->parse( markdown => $markdown )

This method parses the given document. The parsing will cause events to be fired which will be passed to the parser's handler.
