An inline code block starts with a string of at least one backtick, but possibly more:
`
,``
, etc. It then continues until that same sting again.The actual surrounding backticks don't matter, as long as they don't appear in the contents. The following are equivalent, and both produce
a``b
:The easiest way to handle this is to count the longest stretch of backticks in the contents, and then use a string of N+1 backticks for the inline code markers. So, that's what this PR does.
I can imagine nicer formatting, like finding the first available empty spot; or maybe just special-casing
``
. But for now, I'm keeping things simple.If the contents start or end with backspace, we add a single space on either side of the contents (between it and the backticks). The CommonMark spec says these should be stripped on parse; they're currently not, because of newly-filed #171.
This PR resolves #157.
