% \section{Introduction}
% This document is a reference manual for the \pkg{Markdown} package. It is
% split into three sections. This section explains the purpose and the
% background of the package and outlines its prerequisites. Section
% \ref{sec:interfaces} describes the interfaces exposed by the package along
% with usage notes and examples. It is aimed at the user of the package.
% Section \ref{sec:implementation} describes the implementation of the package.
% It is aimed at the developer of the package and the curious user.
%
% \subsection{About \pkg{Markdown}}
% The \pkg{Markdown} package provides facilities for the conversion of markdown
% markup to plain \TeX{}. These are provided both in the form of a Lua module
% and in the form of plain \TeX{}, \LaTeX{}, and \Hologo{ConTeXt} macro
% packages that enable the direct inclusion of markdown documents inside \TeX{}
% documents.
%
% Architecturally, the package consists of the \pkg{Lunamark} v1.4.0 Lua module
% by John MacFarlane, which was slimmed down and rewritten for the needs of the
% package. On top of \pkg{Lunamark} sits code for the plain \TeX{}, \LaTeX{},
% and \Hologo{ConTeXt} formats by Vít Novotný.

% \subsection{Feedback}
% Please use the \pkg{markdown} project page on
% GitHub\footnote{\url{https://github.com/witiko/markdown/issues}} to report
% bugs and submit feature requests. Before making a feature request, please
% ensure that you have thoroughly studied this manual. If you do not want to
% report a bug or request a feature but are simply in need of assistance, you
% might want to consider posting your question on the \TeX-\LaTeX{} Stack
% Exchange\footnote{\url{https://tex.stackexchange.com}}.
%
% \subsection{Acknowledgements}
% I would like to thank the Faculty of Informatics at the Masaryk University in
% Brno for providing me with the opportunity to work on this package alongside
% my studies. I would also like to thank the creator of the Lunamark Lua
% module, John Macfarlane, for releasing Lunamark under a permissive license
% that enabled its inclusion into the package.
%
% The \TeX{} part of the package draws inspiration from several sources
% including the source code of \Hologo{LaTeX2e}, the \pkg{minted} package by
% Geoffrey M. Poore -- which likewise tackles the issue of interfacing with an
% external interpreter from \TeX, the \pkg{filecontents} package by Scott
% Pakin, and others.
%
% \subsection{Prerequisites}
% This section gives an overview of all resources required by the package.
%
% \subsubsection{Lua Prerequisites}\label{sec:luaprerequisites}
% The Lua part of the package requires that the following Lua modules are
% available from within the Lua\TeX{} engine:
% \begin{description}
%   \item[\pkg{LPeg${}\geq{}$0.10}] A pattern-matching library for the writing
%     of recursive descent parsers via the Parsing Expression Grammars
%     (\acro{peg}s). It is used by the \pkg{Lunamark} library to parse the
%     markdown input. \pkg{LPeg${}\geq{}$0.10} is included in
%     Lua\TeX${}\geq{}$0.72.0 (\TeX Live${}\geq{}2013$).
%  \begin{macrocode}
local lpeg = require("lpeg")
%    \end{macrocode}
%   \item[\pkg{Selene Unicode}] A library that provides support for the
%     processing of wide strings. It is used by the \pkg{Lunamark} library to

% \section{User Guide}\label{sec:interfaces}
% This part of the manual describes the interfaces exposed by the package
% along with usage notes and examples. It is aimed at the user of the package.
%
% Since neither \TeX{} nor Lua provide interfaces as a language construct, the
% separation to interfaces and implementations is purely abstract. It serves as
% a means of structuring this manual and as a promise to the user that if they
% only access the package through the interfaces, the future versions of the
% package should remain backwards compatible.

% \fi
% \subsection{Lua Interface}\label{sec:luainterface}
% The Lua interface provides the conversion from \acro{utf}-\oldstylenums8
% encoded markdown to plain \TeX{}. This interface is used by the plain \TeX{}
% implementation (see Section \ref{sec:teximplementation}) and will be of
% interest to the developers of other packages and Lua modules.
%
% The Lua interface is implemented by the \t`markdown` Lua module.
%
%  \begin{macrocode}
local M = {}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \subsubsection{Conversion from Markdown to Plain \TeX{}}
% \label{sec:luaconversion}
% The Lua interface exposes the \luamdef{new}\t`(options)` method.  This
% method creates converter functions that perform the conversion from markdown
% to plain \TeX{} according to the table \t`options` that contains options
% recognized by the Lua interface.  (see Section \ref{sec:luaoptions}). The
% \t`options` parameter is optional; when unspecified, the behaviour will be
% the same as if \t`options` were an empty table.
%
% The following example Lua code converts the markdown string \t`_Hello
% world!_` to a \TeX{} output using the default options and prints the \TeX{}
% output:
% \begin{Verbatim}
% local md = require("markdown")
% local convert = md.new()
% print(convert("_Hello world!_"))
% \end{Verbatim}
%
% \subsubsection{Options}\label{sec:luaoptions}
% The Lua interface recognizes the following options. When unspecified, the
% value of a key is taken from the \luamdef{defaultOptions} table.
%  \begin{macrocode}
local defaultOptions = {}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \begin{optionlist}
%   \Optitem[false]{blankBeforeBlockquote}{\opt{true}, \opt{false}}

% \fi\subsection{Plain \TeX{} Interface}\label{sec:texinterface}
% The plain \TeX{} interface provides macros for the typesetting of markdown input
% from within plain \TeX{}, for setting the Lua interface options (see Section
% \ref{sec:luaoptions}) used during the conversion from markdown to plain
% \TeX{}, and for changing the way markdown the tokens are rendered.
%  \begin{macrocode}
\def\markdownLastModified{2016/09/06}%
\def\markdownVersion{2.1.1}%
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% The plain \TeX{} interface is implemented by the \t`markdown.tex` file that
% can be loaded as follows:
% \begin{Verbatim}
% \input markdown
% \end{Verbatim}
% It is expected that the special plain \TeX{} characters have the expected
% category codes, when \m{input}ting the file.
%
% \subsubsection{Typesetting Markdown}\label{sec:textypesetting}
% The interface exposes the \mdef{markdownBegin}, \mdef{markdownEnd}, and
% \mdef{markdownInput} macros.
%
% The \m{markdownBegin} macro marks the beginning of a markdown document
% fragment and the \m{markdownEnd} macro marks its end.
%  \begin{macrocode}
\let\markdownBegin\relax
\let\markdownEnd\relax
%    \end{macrocode}
% You may prepend your own code to the \m{markdownBegin} macro and redefine the
% \m{markdownEnd} macro to produce special effects before and after the
% markdown block.
%
% There are several limitations to the macros you need to be aware of.
% The first limitation concerns the \m{markdownEnd} macro, which must be
% visible directly from the input line buffer (it may not be produced as a
% result of input expansion). Otherwise, it will not be recognized as the end
% of the markdown string otherwise. As a corrolary, the \m{markdownEnd} string
% may not appear anywhere inside the markdown input.
%
% Another limitation concerns spaces at the right end of an input line. In
% markdown, these are used to produce a forced line break. However, any such
% spaces are removed before the lines enter the input buffer of \TeX{} (see
% \cite[p.~46]{knuth86}). As a corrolary, the \m{markdownBegin} macro also
% ignores them.
%
% The \m{markdownBegin} and \m{markdownEnd} macros will also consume the rest
% of the lines at which they appear.  In the following example plain \TeX{}
% code, the characters \t`c`, \t`e`, and \t`f` will not appear in the output.
% \begin{Verbatim}
% \input markdown
% a
% b \markdownBegin c 
% d 
% e \markdownEnd   f
% g 
% \bye
% \end{Verbatim}
%
% Note that you may also not nest the \m{markdownBegin} and \m{markdownEnd}
% macros.
%
% The following example plain \TeX{} code showcases the usage of the
% \m{markdownBegin} and \m{markdownEnd} macros:
% \begin{Verbatim}
% \input markdown
% \markdownBegin
% _Hello_ **world** ...
% \markdownEnd
% \bye
% \end{Verbatim}
%
% The \m{markdownInput} macro accepts a single parameter containing the
% filename of a markdown document and expands to the result of the conversion
% of the input markdown document to plain \TeX{}.
%  \begin{macrocode}
\let\markdownInput\relax
%    \end{macrocode}
% This macro is not subject to the abovelisted limitations of the
% \m{markdownBegin} and \m{markdownEnd} macros.
%
% The following example plain \TeX{} code showcases the usage of the
% \m{markdownInput} macro:
% \begin{Verbatim}
% \input markdown
% \markdownInput{hello.md}
% \bye
% \end{Verbatim}
%
% \subsubsection{Options}\label{sec:texoptions}
% The plain \TeX{} options are represented by \TeX{} macros. Some of them map
% directly to the options recognized by the Lua interface (see Section
% \ref{sec:luaoptions}), while some of them are specific to the plain \TeX{}
% interface.
%
% \paragraph{File and directory names}
% The \mdef{markdownOptionHelperScriptFileName} macro sets the filename of the
% helper Lua script file that is created during the conversion from markdown to
% plain \TeX{} in \TeX{} engines without the \m{directlua} primitive. It
% defaults to \m{jobname}\t`.markdown.lua`, where \m{jobname} is the base name
% of the document being typeset.
%
% The expansion of this macro must not contain quotation marks (\t`"`) or
% backslash symbols (\t`\textbackslash`). Mind that \TeX{} engines tend to
% put quotation marks around \m{jobname}, when it contains spaces.
%  \begin{macrocode}
\def\markdownOptionHelperScriptFileName{\jobname.markdown.lua}%
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% The \mdef{markdownOptionInputTempFileName} macro sets the filename of the
% temporary input file that is created during the conversion from markdown to
% plain \TeX{} in \TeX{} engines without the \m{directlua} primitive. It
% defaults to \m{jobname}\t`.markdown.out`. The same limitations as in
% the case of the \m{markdownOptionHelperScriptFileName} macro apply here.
%  \begin{macrocode}
\def\markdownOptionInputTempFileName{\jobname.markdown.in}%
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% The \mdef{markdownOptionOutputTempFileName} macro sets the filename of the
% temporary output file that is created during the conversion from markdown to
% plain \TeX{} in \TeX{} engines without the \m{directlua} primitive. It
% defaults to \m{jobname}\t`.markdown.out`. The same limitations apply here as
% in the case of the \m{markdownOptionHelperScriptFileName} macro.
%  \begin{macrocode}
\def\markdownOptionOutputTempFileName{\jobname.markdown.out}%
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% The \mdef{markdownOptionCacheDir} macro corresponds to the Lua interface
% \Opt{cacheDir} option that sets the name of the directory that will contain
% the produced cache files. The option defaults to \t`_markdown_`\m{jobname},
% which is a similar naming scheme to the one used by the \pkg{minted} \LaTeX{}
% package. The same limitations apply here as in the case of the
% \m{markdownOptionHelperScriptFileName} macro.
%  \begin{macrocode}
\def\markdownOptionCacheDir{./_markdown_\jobname}%
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \paragraph{Lua Interface Options}
% The following macros map directly to the options recognized by the Lua
% interface (see Section \ref{sec:luaoptions}) and are not processed by the
% plain \TeX{} implementation, only passed along to Lua. They are undefined, which
% makes them fall back to the default values provided by the Lua interface.
%  \begin{macrocode}
\let\markdownOptionBlankBeforeBlockquote\undefined
\let\markdownOptionBlankBeforeCodeFence\undefined
\let\markdownOptionBlankBeforeHeading\undefined
\let\markdownOptionCitations\undefined
\let\markdownOptionCitationNbsps\undefined
\let\markdownOptionDefinitionLists\undefined

%
% \subsubsection{Token Renderers}\label{sec:texrenderersuser}
% The following \TeX{} macros may occur inside the output of the
% converter functions exposed by the Lua interface (see Section
% \ref{sec:luaconversion}) and represent the parsed markdown tokens. These
% macros are intended to be redefined by the user who is typesetting a
% document. By default, they point to the corresponding prototypes (see Section
% \ref{sec:texrendererprototypes}).
%
% \paragraph{Interblock Separator Renderer}
% The \mdef{markdownRendererInterblockSeparator} macro represents a separator
% between two markdown block elements. The macro receives no arguments.
%  \begin{macrocode}
\def\markdownRendererInterblockSeparator{%
  \markdownRendererInterblockSeparatorPrototype}%
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \paragraph{Line Break Renderer}
% The \mdef{markdownRendererLineBreak} macro represents a forced line break.
% The macro receives no arguments.
%  \begin{macrocode}
\def\markdownRendererLineBreak{%
  \markdownRendererLineBreakPrototype}%
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \paragraph{Ellipsis Renderer}
% The \mdef{markdownRendererEllipsis} macro replaces any occurance of ASCII
% ellipses in the input text. This macro will only be produced, when the
% \Opt{smartEllipses} option is \t`true`.  The macro receives no arguments.
%  \begin{macrocode}
\def\markdownRendererEllipsis{%
  \markdownRendererEllipsisPrototype}%
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \paragraph{Non-breaking Space Renderer}
% The \mdef{markdownRendererNbsp} macro represents a non-breaking space.
%  \begin{macrocode}
\def\markdownRendererNbsp{%
  \markdownRendererNbspPrototype}%
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \paragraph{Special Character Renderers}
% The following macros replace any special plain \TeX{} characters (including
% the active pipe character (\t`|`) of \Hologo{ConTeXt}) in the input text.
% These macros will only be produced, when the \Opt{hybrid} option is
% \t`false`.
%  \begin{macrocode}
\def\markdownRendererLeftBrace{%

% \subsubsection{Logging Facilities}
% The \mdef{markdownInfo}, \mdef{markdownWarning}, and
% \mdef{markdownError} macros provide access to logging to the rest of
% the macros. Their first argument specifies the text of the info, warning, or
% error message.
%  \begin{macrocode}
\def\markdownInfo#1{}%
\def\markdownWarning#1{}%
%    \end{macrocode}
% The \m{markdownError} macro receives a second argument that provides a help
% text suggesting a remedy to the error.
%  \begin{macrocode}
\def\markdownError#1{}%
%    \end{macrocode}
% You may redefine these macros to redirect and process the info, warning, and
% error messages.
%
% \subsubsection{Miscellanea}
% The \mdef{markdownLuaRegisterIBCallback} and
% \mdef{markdownLuaUnregisterIBCallback} macros specify the Lua code for
% registering and unregistering a callback for changing the contents of the
% line input buffer before a \TeX{} engine that supports direct Lua access via
% the \m{directlua} macro starts looking at it. The first argument of the
% \m{markdownLuaRegisterIBCallback} macro corresponds to the callback function
% being registered.
%
% Local members defined within \m{markdownLuaRegisterIBCallback} are guaranteed
% to be visible from \m{markdownLuaUnregisterIBCallback} and the execution of
% the two macros alternates, so it is not necessary to consider the case, when
% one of the macros is called twice in a row.
%  \begin{macrocode}
\def\markdownLuaRegisterIBCallback#1{%
  local old_callback = callback.find("process_input_buffer")
  callback.register("process_input_buffer", #1)}%
\def\markdownLuaUnregisterIBCallback{%
  callback.register("process_input_buffer", old_callback)}%
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% The \mdef{markdownMakeOther} macro is used by the package, when a \TeX{}
% engine that does not support direct Lua access is starting to buffer a text.
% The plain \TeX{} implementation changes the category code of plain \TeX{}
% special characters to other, but there may be other active characters that
% may break the output. This macro should temporarily change the category of
% these to \emph{other}.
%  \begin{macrocode}
\let\markdownMakeOther\relax
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% The \mdef{markdownReadAndConvert} macro implements the \m{markdownBegin}
% macro. The first argument specifies the token sequence that will terminate
% the markdown input (\m{markdownEnd} in the instance of the \m{markdownBegin}
% macro) when the plain \TeX{} special characters have had their category
% changed to \emph{other}. The second argument specifies the token sequence
% that will actually be inserted into the document, when the ending token
% sequence has been found.
%  \begin{macrocode}
\let\markdownReadAndConvert\relax
\begingroup
%    \end{macrocode}
% Locally swap the category code of the backslash symbol (\t`\textbackslash`)
% with the pipe symbol (\t`|`). This is required in order that all the special
% symbols in the first argument of the \t`markdownReadAndConvert` macro have
% the category code \emph{other}.
%  \begin{macrocode}
  \catcode`\|=0\catcode`\\=12%
  |gdef|markdownBegin{%
    |markdownReadAndConvert{\markdownEnd}%
                           {|markdownEnd}}%
|endgroup
%    \end{macrocode}
% The macro is exposed in the interface, so that the user can create their own
% markdown environments. Due to the way the arguments are passed to Lua (see
% Section \ref{sec:directlua}), the first argument may not contain the
% string \t`]]` (regardless of the category code of the bracket symbol (\t`]`)).
%
% The \mdef{markdownMode} macro specifies how the plain \TeX{} implementation
% interfaces with the Lua interface. The valid values and their meaning are
% as follows:
% \begin{itemize}
%   \item\t`0` -- Shell escape via the 18 output file stream
%   \item\t`1` -- Shell escape via the Lua \luam{os.execute} method
%   \item\t`2` -- Direct Lua access
% \end{itemize}
% By defining the macro, the user can coerce the package to use a specific mode.
% If the user does not define the macro prior to loading the plain \TeX{}
% implementation, the correct value will be automatically detected. The outcome
% of changing the value of \m{markdownMode} after the implementation has been
% loaded is undefined.
%  \begin{macrocode}
\ifx\markdownMode\undefined
  \ifx\directlua\undefined

%</tex>
%<*latex>
% \fi\subsection{\LaTeX{} Interface}\label{sec:latexinterface}
% The \LaTeX{} interface provides \LaTeX{} environments for the typesetting of
% markdown input from within \LaTeX{}, facilities for setting Lua interface
% options (see Section \ref{sec:luaoptions}) used during the conversion from
% markdown to plain \TeX{}, and facilities for changing the way markdown tokens
% are rendered. The rest of the interface is inherited from the plain \TeX{}
% interface (see Section \ref{sec:texinterface}).
%
% The \LaTeX{} interface is implemented by the \t`markdown.sty` file, which
% can be loaded from the \LaTeX{} document preamble as follows:
% \begin{Verbatim}[commandchars=\\\{\}]
% \textbackslash{}usepackage[\textrm{\meta{options}}]\{markdown\}
% \end{Verbatim}
% where \meta{options} are the \LaTeX{} interface options (see Section
% \ref{sec:latexoptions}). Note that \meta{options} inside the \m{usepackage}
% macro may not set the \t`markdownRenderers` (see Section
% \ref{sec:latexrenderers}) and \t`markdownRendererPrototypes` (see Section
% \ref{sec:latexrendererprototypes}) keys. This limitation is due to the way
% \Hologo{LaTeX2e} parses package options.
%
% \subsubsection{Typesetting Markdown}
% The interface exposes the \envmdef{markdown} and \envmdef{markdown*}
% \LaTeX{} environments, and redefines the \m{markdownInput} command.
%
% The \envm{markdown} and \envm{markdown*} \LaTeX{} environments are used to
% typeset markdown document fragments. The starred version of the
% \envm{markdown} environment accepts \LaTeX{} interface options (see
% Section \ref{sec:latexoptions}) as its only argument. These options will
% only influnce this markdown document fragment.
%  \begin{macrocode}
\newenvironment{markdown}\relax\relax
\newenvironment{markdown*}[1]\relax\relax
%    \end{macrocode}
% You may prepend your own code to the \m{markdown} macro and append your own
% code to the \m{endmarkdown} macro to produce special effects before and after
% the \envm{markdown} \LaTeX{} environment (and likewise for the starred
% version).
%
% Note that the \envm{markdown} and \envm{markdown*} \LaTeX{} environments are
% subject to the same limitations as the \m{markdownBegin} and \m{markdownEnd}
% macros exposed by the plain \TeX{} interface.
%
% The following example \LaTeX{} code showcases the usage of the
% \envm{markdown} and \envm{markdown*} environments:
% \begin{Verbatim}
% \documentclass{article}            \documentclass{article}
% \usepackage{markdown}              \usepackage{markdown}
% \begin{document}                   \begin{document}
% % ...                              % ...
% \begin{markdown}                   \begin{markdown*}{smartEllipses}
% _Hello_ **world** ...              _Hello_ **world** ...
% \end{markdown}                     \end{markdown*}
% % ...                              % ...
% \end{document}                     \end{document}
% \end{Verbatim}
%
% The \m{markdownInput} macro accepts a single mandatory parameter containing
% the filename of a markdown document and expands to the result of the
% conversion of the input markdown document to plain \TeX{}.  Unlike the
% \m{markdownInput} macro provided by the plain \TeX{} interface, this macro
% also accepts \LaTeX{} interface options (see Section \ref{sec:latexoptions})
% as its optional argument. These options will only influnce this markdown
% document.
%
% The following example \LaTeX{} code showcases the usage of the
% \m{markdownInput} macro:
% \begin{Verbatim}
% \documentclass{article}
% \usepackage{markdown}
% \begin{document}
% % ...
% \markdownInput[smartEllipses]{hello.md}
% % ...
% \end{document}
% \end{Verbatim}
%
% \subsubsection{Options}\label{sec:latexoptions}
% The \LaTeX{} options are represented by a comma-delimited list of
% \meta{\meta{key}=\meta{value}} pairs. For boolean options, the
% \meta{=\meta{value}} part is optional, and \meta{\meta{key}} will be
% interpreted as \meta{\meta{key}=true}.
%
% The \LaTeX{} options map directly to the options recognized by the plain
% \TeX{} interface (see Section \ref{sec:texoptions}) and to the markdown token
% renderers and their prototypes recognized by the plain \TeX{} interface (see
% Sections \ref{sec:texrenderersuser} and \ref{sec:texrendererprototypes}).
%
% The \LaTeX{} options may be specified when loading the \LaTeX{} package (see
% Section \ref{sec:latexinterface}), when using the \envm{markdown*} \LaTeX{}
% environment, or via the \mdef{markdownSetup} macro.  The \m{markdownSetup}
% macro receives the options to set up as its only argument.
%  \begin{macrocode}

% \fi\subsection{\Hologo{ConTeXt} Interface}\label{sec:contextinterface}
% The \Hologo{ConTeXt} interface provides a start-stop macro pair for the
% typesetting of markdown input from within \Hologo{ConTeXt}. The rest of the
% interface is inherited from the plain \TeX{} interface (see Section
% \ref{sec:texinterface}).
%  \begin{macrocode}
\writestatus{loading}{ConTeXt User Module / markdown}%
\unprotect
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% The \Hologo{ConTeXt} interface is implemented by the
% \t`t-markdown.tex` \Hologo{ConTeXt} module file that can be loaded as follows:
% \begin{Verbatim}
% \usemodule[t][markdown]
% \end{Verbatim}
% It is expected that the special plain \TeX{} characters have the expected
% category codes, when \m{input}ting the file.
%
% \subsubsection{Typesetting Markdown}
% The interface exposes the \mdef{startmarkdown} and \mdef{stopmarkdown} macro
% pair for the typesetting of a markdown document fragment.
%  \begin{macrocode}
\let\startmarkdown\relax
\let\stopmarkdown\relax
%    \end{macrocode}
% You may prepend your own code to the \m{startmarkdown} macro and redefine the
% \m{stopmarkdown} macro to produce special effects before and after the
% markdown block.
%
% Note that the \m{startmarkdown} and \m{stopmarkdown} macros
% are subject to the same limitations as the \m{markdownBegin} and
% \m{markdownEnd} macros exposed by the plain \TeX{} interface.
%
% The following example \Hologo{ConTeXt} code showcases the usage of the
% \m{startmarkdown} and \m{stopmarkdown} macros:
% \begin{Verbatim}
% \usemodule[t][markdown]
% \starttext
% \startmarkdown
% _Hello_ **world** ...
% \stopmarkdown
% \stoptext
% \end{Verbatim}

% \section{Technical Documentation}\label{sec:implementation}

% \fi\subsection{Lua Implementation}\label{sec:luaimplementation}
% The Lua implementation implements \luamdef{writer} and \luamdef{reader}
% objects that provide the conversion from markdown to plain \TeX{}.
%
% The Lunamark Lua module implements writers for the conversion to various
% other formats, such as DocBook, Groff, or \acro{HTML}. These were stripped
% from the module and the remaining markdown reader and plain \TeX{} writer
% were hidden behind the converter functions exposed by the Lua interface (see
% Section \ref{sec:luainterface}).
%
%  \begin{macrocode}
local upper, gsub, format, length =
  string.upper, string.gsub, string.format, string.len
local concat = table.concat
local P, R, S, V, C, Cg, Cb, Cmt, Cc, Ct, B, Cs, any =
  lpeg.P, lpeg.R, lpeg.S, lpeg.V, lpeg.C, lpeg.Cg, lpeg.Cb,
  lpeg.Cmt, lpeg.Cc, lpeg.Ct, lpeg.B, lpeg.Cs, lpeg.P(1)
%    \end{macrocode}
% 
% \subsubsection{Utility Functions}
% This section documents the utility functions used by the Lua code. These
% functions are encapsulated in the \t`util` object. The functions were
% originally located in the \t`lunamark/util.lua` file in the Lunamark Lua
% module.
%  \begin{macrocode}
local util = {}
%    \end{macrocode}
% 
% The \luamdef{util.err} method prints an error message \t`msg` and exits.
% If \t`exit_code` is provided, it specifies the exit code.  Otherwise, the
% exit code will be 1.
%  \begin{macrocode}
function util.err(msg, exit_code)
  io.stderr:write("markdown.lua: " .. msg .. "\n")
  os.exit(exit_code or 1)
end
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% The \luamdef{util.cache} method computes the digest of \t`string` and
% \t`salt`, adds the \t`suffix` and looks into the directory \t`dir`, whether a
% file with such a name exists. If it does not, it gets created with
% \t`transform(string)` as its content. The filename is then returned.
%  \begin{macrocode}
function util.cache(dir, string, salt, transform, suffix)
  local digest = md5.sumhexa(string .. (salt or ""))
  local name = util.pathname(dir, digest .. suffix)
  local file = io.open(name, "r")
  if file == nil then -- If no cache entry exists, then create a new one.
    local file = assert(io.open(name, "w"))
    local result = string
    if transform ~= nil then
      result = transform(result)
    end
    assert(file:write(result))
    assert(file:close())
  end
  return name
end
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% The \luamdef{util.table_copy} method creates a shallow copy of a table \t`t`
% and its metatable.
%  \begin{macrocode}
function util.table_copy(t)
  local u = { }
  for k, v in pairs(t) do u[k] = v end
  return setmetatable(u, getmetatable(t))
end
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% The \luamdef{util.expand_tabs_in_line} expands tabs in string \t`s`. If
% \t`tabstop` is specified, it is used as the tab stop width. Otherwise,
% the tab stop width of 4 characters is used. The method is a copy of the tab
% expansion algorithm from \cite[Chapter~21]{ierusalimschy13}.
%  \begin{macrocode}
function util.expand_tabs_in_line(s, tabstop)
  local tab = tabstop or 4
  local corr = 0
  return (s:gsub("()\t", function(p)
            local sp = tab - (p - 1 + corr) % tab
            corr = corr - 1 + sp
            return string.rep(" ", sp)
          end))
end
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% The \luamdef{util.walk} method walks a rope \t`t`, applying a function \t`f`
% to each leaf element in order. A rope is an array whose elements may be
% ropes, strings, numbers, or functions.  If a leaf element is a function, call
% it and get the return value before proceeding.
%  \begin{macrocode}

      n = t[i]
    end
  elseif typ == "function" then
    local ok, val = pcall(t)
    if ok then
      util.walk(val,f)
    end
  else
    f(tostring(t))
  end
end
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% The \luamdef{util.flatten} method flattens an array \t`ary` that does not
% contain cycles and returns the result.
%  \begin{macrocode}

  for _,v in ipairs(ary) do
    if type(v) == "table" then
      for _,w in ipairs(util.flatten(v)) do

%    \end{macrocode}
%
% The \luamdef{util.rope_to_string} method converts a rope \t`rope` to a

% the \luam{util.walk} method.
%  \begin{macrocode}

%    \end{macrocode}

%    \end{macrocode}
% 
% Given an array \t`ary` and a function \t`f`, the \luamdef{util.map} method

% 
% The method uses \pkg{LPeg}, which is faster than the Lua \t`string.gsub`

% \subsubsection{Lua Shell Escape Bridge}\label{sec:luabridge}
% The following \TeX{} code is intended for \TeX{} engines that do not provide

% corresponds to the \m{markdownMode} values of \t`0` and \t`1`.
%
% The \m{markdownLuaExecute} and \m{markdownReadAndConvert} macros defined here
% and in Section \ref{sec:directlua} are meant to be transparent to the
% remaining code.
%
% The package assumes that although the user is not using the Lua\TeX{} engine,
% their TeX distribution contains it, and uses shell access to produce and
% execute Lua scripts using the \TeX{}Lua interpreter (see
% \cite[Section~3.1.1]{luatex16}).

% (\t`2`).
% 
% Inherit the value of the the \m{pdfshellescape} (Lua\TeX{}, \Hologo{pdfTeX})
% or the \m{shellescape} (\Hologo{XeTeX}) commands. If neither of these
% commands is defined and Lua is available, attempt to access the
% \luam{status.shell_escape} configuration item.

% \subsubsection{Miscellanea}
% Unlike base Lua\TeX{}, which only allows for a single registered function per
% a callback (see \cite[Section~8.1]{luatex16}), the \Hologo{LaTeX2e} format
% disables the \luam{callback.register} method and exposes the
% \luam{luatexbase.add_to_callback} and \luam{luatexbase.remove_from_callback}
% methods that enable the user code to hook several functions on a single
% callback (see \cite[Section~73.4]{latex16}).
%
% To make our code function with the \Hologo{LaTeX2e} format, we need to
% redefine the \m{markdownLuaRegisterIBCallback} and
% \m{markdownLuaUnregisterIBCallback} macros accordingly.
%  \begin{macrocode}
\let\markdownLuaRegisterIBCallbackPrevious
  \markdownLuaRegisterIBCallback
\let\markdownLuaUnregisterIBCallbackPrevious
  \markdownLuaUnregisterIBCallback
\renewcommand\markdownLuaRegisterIBCallback[1]{%
  if luatexbase and luatexbase.add_to_callback then
    luatexbase.add_to_callback("process_input_buffer", #1, %
      "The markdown input processor")
  else
    \markdownLuaRegisterIBCallbackPrevious{#1}
  end}
\renewcommand\markdownLuaUnregisterIBCallback{%
  if luatexbase and luatexbase.add_to_callback then
    luatexbase.remove_from_callback("process_input_buffer",%
      "The markdown input processor")
  else
    \markdownLuaUnregisterIBCallbackPrevious;
  end}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% When buffering user input, we should disable the bytes with the high bit set,
% since these are made active by the \pkg{inputenc} package. We will do this by
% redefining the \m{markdownMakeOther} macro accordingly. The code is courtesy
% of Scott Pakin, the creator of the \pkg{filecontents} package.
%  \begin{macrocode}

% \fi\subsection{\Hologo{ConTeXt} Implementation}
% \label{sec:contextimplementation}
% The \Hologo{ConTeXt} implementation makes use of the fact that, apart from
% some subtle differences, the Mark II and Mark IV \Hologo{ConTeXt} formats
% \emph{seem} to implement (the documentation is scarce) the majority of the
% plain \TeX{} format required by the plain \TeX{} implementation.  As a
% consequence, we can directly reuse the existing plain \TeX{} implementation
% after supplying the missing plain \TeX{} macros.
%  \begin{macrocode}
\def\dospecials{\do\ \do\\\do\{\do\}\do\$\do\&%
  \do\#\do\^\do\_\do\%\do\~}%
%    \end{macrocode}
% When there is no Lua support, then just load the plain \TeX{} implementation.
%  \begin{macrocode}
\ifx\directlua\undefined
  \input markdown
\else
%    \end{macrocode}
% When there is Lua support, check if we can set the \t`process_input_buffer`
% Lua\TeX{} callback.
%  \begin{macrocode}
  \directlua{%
    local function unescape(str)
      return (str:gsub("|", string.char(92))) end
    local old_callback = callback.find("process_input_buffer")
    callback.register("process_input_buffer", function() end)
    local new_callback = callback.find("process_input_buffer")
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% If we can not, we are probably using ConTeXt Mark IV. In ConTeXt Mark IV, the
% \t`process_input_buffer` callback is currently frozen (inaccessible from the
% user code) and, due to the lack of available documentation, it is unclear to
% me how to emulate it. As a workaround, we will force the plain \TeX{}
% implementation to use the Lua shell escape bridge (see Section
% \ref{sec:luabridge}) by setting the \m{markdownMode} macro to the value of
% \t`1`.
%  \begin{macrocode}
    if new_callback == false then
      tex.print(unescape([[|def|markdownMode{1}|input markdown]]))
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% If we can set the \t`process_input_buffer` Lua\TeX{} callback, then just load
% the plain \TeX{} implementation.
%  \begin{macrocode}
    else
      callback.register("process_input_buffer", old_callback)
      tex.print(unescape("|input markdown"))
    end}%
\fi
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% If the shell escape bridge is being used, define the \m{markdownMakeOther}
% macro, so that the pipe character (\t`|`) is inactive during the scanning.
% This is necessary, since the character is active in \Hologo{ConTeXt}.
%  \begin{macrocode}
\ifnum\markdownMode<2\relax
  \def\markdownMakeOther{%
    \catcode`|=12}%
\fi
%    \end{macrocode}
% 
% \subsubsection{Logging Facilities}
% The \Hologo{ConTeXt} implementation redefines the plain \TeX{} logging macros (see
% Section \ref{sec:texinterfacelogging}) to use the \Hologo{ConTeXt}
% \m{writestatus} macro.
%  \begin{macrocode}
\def\markdownInfo#1{\writestatus{markdown}{#1.}}%
\def\markdownWarning#1{\writestatus{markdown\space warn}{#1.}}%
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \subsubsection{Typesetting Markdown}
% The \m{startmarkdown} and \m{stopmarkdown} macros are implemented using the
% \m{markdownReadAndConvert} macro.
%  \begin{macrocode}
\begingroup
%    \end{macrocode}
% Locally swap the category code of the backslash symbol with the pipe symbol.
% This is required in order that all the special symbols that appear in the
% first argument of the \t`markdownReadAndConvert` macro have the category code
% \emph{other}.
%  \begin{macrocode}
  \catcode`\|=0%
  \catcode`\\=12%
  |gdef|startmarkdown{%
    |markdownReadAndConvert{\stopmarkdown}%
