Plot

Living with his family in Baltimore, 9-year-old Lewie Penrose (Jackie 'Butch' Jenkins) claims that he can converse with horses-and also pick the winners of upcoming races. When it appears as though Lewie is telling the truth, he attracts the interest of gambler Rich Roeder (Charles Ruggles), who needs a "sure thing" in the upcoming Preakness Stakes. Meanwhile, Lewie's older brother John (Peter Lawford) carries on a romance with the lovely Martha (Beverly Tyler).[2]

gollark: No, I have that stuff done.

gollark: I want a *different* set of "OPERATIONS ON RELEVANT NODE THING" and no HTML generation at the end, and it would be bees to just copy-paste the function here.

gollark: As of now, my code does```nimproc renderToHtml*(input: string): string = let wlRegex = re"\[\[([^:\]]+):?([^\]]+)?\]\]" let opt = CMARK_OPT_UNSAFE or CMARK_OPT_FOOTNOTES or CMARK_OPT_STRIKETHROUGH_DOUBLE_TILDE or CMARK_OPT_TABLE_PREFER_STYLE_ATTRIBUTES # create parser instance let str: cstring = input len: csize_t = len(input).csize_t parser: ParserPtr = cmark_parser_new(opt.cint) if parser == nil: raise newException(CatchableError, "failed to initialize parser") defer: cmark_parser_free(parser) [further initialization stuff] # parse document, get AST cmark_parser_feed(parser, str, len) let doc = cmark_parser_finish(parser) defer: cmark_node_free(doc) if doc == nil: raise newException(CatchableError, "parsing failed - should not occur") # iterate over AST using built-in cmark-gfm AST iteration thing for (evType, node) in cmarkTree(doc): # if it is a text node [OPERATIONS ON RELEVANT NODE THING] let html: cstring = cmark_render_html(doc, opt.cint, cmark_parser_get_syntax_extensions(parser)) defer: free(html) result = $html```

gollark: cmark. I will explain.

gollark: Hmm. Gibson, you use nim, yes? How can I nicely™ abstract this C library?
