For the record, here is how the previous forms looked like. I prefer a lot the new version: it's a lot more "markdown like".

It took 2 versions and 3 months to get finally a parser that works OK (fully Commonmark compliant). It still needs a bit of work, but i'm almost there.

So my challenge for this first #100DaysOfCode: make Link Reference Definition & HTML blocks correctly rendered in symbol mode.

Let's get to work!

Having a look at the open source Markdown parsers, I decided to write my own for 3 reasons:

1. speed
2. ability to get a very precise AST (including symbols, ToC...)
3. ability for lazy parsing (i.e. parsing only sub sections of a doc instead of re-parsing it all)
