A parser for Discord's flavour of text markup that aims to be as accurate as possible.
- Parsing message content as returned by Discord's API into a tree
- Matching the behaviour of the desktop client as closely as possible, including edge cases
- Supporting all constructs rendered by the client in plain messages, including emoji, mentions and URLs
- Parsing markup besides that in message content from the API, like the highlighting seen in the client while typing a message
- Imitating platforms other than web/desktop
- Rendering results to HTML
The library is usable in its current state. However, there is work still to be done:
- Guide-level documentation
- Recognizing niche features such as slash command references
The logic for this module was mostly worked out by hand by testing against Discord's official client through trial and error. As such, there may be subtle inaccuracies. If you find a case that isn't parsed the same way as it is in Discord, let me know by filing an issue!
