HashtagParser

A hashtag parser that brings the behavior of hashtag-rs to ruby and the work of using an Finite State Machine to do the parsing by davidpdrsn

Given a string as "#ruby is #awesome", this gem returns an array with an object with text, start and end for each of the two hashtags in the string.

Its goal is to match Instagram's parsing of hashtags.
