gollark: I'm actually just using an existing Markdown library, but because I want to render to virtual DOM and it... doesn't... I'm using its lexer and not the rest of it.

gollark: Good idea, I'll add it to the other 12561256125152.

gollark: If we amputate 8 fingers from all humans by force, we will finally enter a golden age of binary prefixes.
