gollark: And the slightly *hacky* logic which maps positions in the text node to position in the whole paragraph.
gollark: That's it, apart from the mildly more complex logic which will try and get more words from one end if there aren't enough on the other.
gollark: It basically looks 12 words in each direction around the link.
gollark: When it finds a wikilink, it uses algorithms™ and the full text of the paragraph to generate a short snippet of context.
gollark: And the page parsing logic iterates over the markdown AST, and uses the accursed wikilink regex to find wikilinks.
