goldmark-lineblocks

This goldmark parser extension adds support for inline blocks in markdown.

var md = goldmark.New(
    lineblocks.Enable,
)
err := md.Convert(source, os.Stdout)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

A line block is a sequence of lines beginning with a vertical bar (|) followed by a space. The division into lines will be preserved in the output, as will any leading spaces; otherwise, the lines will be formatted as Markdown. This is useful for verse and addresses:

| The limerick packs laughs anatomical
| In space that is quite economical.
|    But the good ones I've seen
|    So seldom are clean
| And the clean ones so seldom are comical

| 200 Main St.
| Berkeley, CA 94718

The lines can be hard-wrapped if needed.

| The Right Honorable Most Venerable and 
  Righteous Samuel L. Constable, Jr.
| 200 Main St.
| Berkeley, CA 94718

This syntax is borrowed from reStructuredText and Pandoc.
