| 5 | yep. this is a another late-night blog post. probably won't be a long one, but |
| 6 | that's okay, i don't aim to post at a specific length when i write, i just kind |
| 7 | of write how i want and when my brain wants to throw text into the world's eyes |
| 8 | to read. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | anyway, i updated my markup parser so i can split ordered and unordered list |
| 11 | items across multiple lines. it was beginning to feel odd to have a text file |
| 12 | that was 80 characters in width, and then like a 120 character-long line in the |
| 13 | middle of it because my markup converter didn't support multi-line list items |
| 14 | lol. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | it wasn't too hard either, i basically just needed to remove the `</li>` that i |
| 17 | appended to the end of the line when parsing lists, and, instead, add it when a |
| 18 | new hyphen occured at the beginning of a line, when there were no more lines to |
| 19 | parse and the parser was in an `'ordered-list` or `'unordered-list` state, or |
| 20 | when the current line was just whitespace. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | you can snoop around |
| 23 | [https://git.m455.casa/m455.casa/html/src/parser.scm.html|this file] |
| 24 | for the word "multiline" if you want to see how i did it. |
