gollark: ```rust let parser = Parser::new_ext(md, options).map(|ev| match ev { Event::Text(txt) => { match &*txt { "[" => { // wikilink has opened, two consecutive [ if was_bracket { in_wikilink = true; was_bracket = false; } else { was_bracket = true; } Event::Text("".into()) }, "]" => { // wikilink has closed, two consecutive ] if in_wikilink && was_bracket { was_bracket = false; return Event::Html("<a href='/bees'>commit</a>".into()); } if in_wikilink { was_bracket = true; } Event::Text("".into()) }, _ => { let w = was_bracket; was_bracket = false; if w { return Event::Text(format!("bracket!{}", &*txt).into()); } was_bracket = false; if in_wikilink { wlbuf.push_str(&*txt); Event::Text("".into()) } else { Event::Text(txt) } } } }, _ => ev });```
