Writing a Markdown Parser Is Hard!
Parsers are hard to write. More often than not regular expressions are not enough to properly parse some text into a data structure a computer can easily manipulate. Take for instance the Markdowm markup language. Seems pretty easy at first sight. We split our text into lines and look for special characters: If it begins with one or more #, then it is a header If it begins with >, then it is a blockquote If it begins with *, +, or -, then it is a list item.
I finally got to work and moved the website to Hugo. It took me some time to understand how all its features worked together, but its great documentation really helped a lot. I was using pandoc for converting my markdown files to HTML since I was familiar with how it worked and was using it to convert some documents to PDF for a while. It has a simple templating system that was good enough for the job.
