gollark: I'm using an existing Markdown parsing library and using its vaguely tokenized output to produce virtual DOM.
gollark: This is an actual regex used to parse Markdown by one project:```^(?:(\*(?=[`\]!"#$%&'()+\-./:;<=>?@\[^_{|}~]))|\*)(?![\*\s])((?:(?:(?!\[.*?\]|`.*?`|<.*?>)(?:[^\*]|[\\s]\*)|\[.*?\]|`.*?`|<.*?>)|(?:(?:(?!\[.*?\]|`.*?`|<.*?>)(?:[^\*]|[\\s]\*)|\[.*?\]|`.*?`|<.*?>)*?(?<!\)\*){2})*?)(?:(?<![`\s\]!"#$%&'()+\-./:;<=>?@\[^_{|}~])\*(?!\*)|(?<=[`\]!"#$%&'()+\-./:;<=>?@\[^_{|}~])\*(?!\*)(?:(?=[`\s\]!"#$%&'()+\-./:;<=>?@\[^_{|}~]|$)))|^_([^\s_])_(?!_)|^_([^\s_<][\s\S]*?[^\s_])_(?!_|[^\s,!"#$%&'()+\-./:;<=>?@\[^_{|}~])|^_([^\s_<][\s\S]*?[^\s])_(?!_|[^\s,!"#$%&'()+\-./:;<=>?@\[^_{|}~])```(it's generated from a slightly less insane one with`punctuation` in place of the big mess of punctuation characters, to be fair)
