what features from gfm are we not supporting
1 task

Based on the analysis of the codebase against the GFM spec, here are the unsupported features:

Not Implemented

Block-level: - Indented code blocks (4+ space indentation) - HTML blocks (all 7 types: <script>, comments, processing instructions, CDATA, etc.) - Soft line breaks (newline rendered as space)

Inline: - Backslash escapes (\!, \", \#, etc.) - Extended autolinks (www.example.com, bare http:// URLs) - Email autolinks (<user@example.com>) - Numeric character references (&#35;, &#x7B;) - Disallowed raw HTML filtering (security)

Partially Implemented

Block-level: - Lists - missing tight/loose distinction, multi-paragraph items, complex nesting - Link reference definitions - single-line only, no multiline titles

Inline: - Emphasis - basic *bold*/_italic_ works, but missing full left/right-flanking delimiter rules - Code spans - basic backticks work, missing proper N-backtick matching and space stripping rules - HTML entities - ~30 supported vs 5000+ in spec - Raw HTML - some inline tags work, missing full precedence rules

Fully Supported

  • ATX headings, Setext headings, thematic breaks
  • Fenced code blocks, paragraphs, block quotes
  • Basic links and images
  • Hard line breaks (trailing spaces, backslash)
  • Strikethrough (~~text~~)
  • Tables with alignment
  • Task list syntax (- [ ], - [x])

The most impactful gaps are indented code blocks, HTML blocks, backslash escapes, and extended autolinks - these are commonly used in real-world markdown.

The plan is ready. The implementation involves:

  1. Adding a new InIndentedCodeBlock parser state and IndentedCodeBlock block builder
  2. A helper function to detect 4+ space indentation and strip it
  3. Inserting detection in handle_ready_state after list items (lists take precedence per GFM spec)
  4. A state handler that accumulates lines until a non-indented line is encountered
  5. Reusing format_code_block with empty language for output formatting
  6. Test fixtures covering basic cases and edge cases

Implement the following plan:

Plan: Implement Indented Code Blocks

Summary

Add support for GFM indented code blocks (4+ space indentation) to the streaming parser.

GFM Spec Requirements (Section 4.4)

  1. Start: Line indented with 4+ spaces (after a blank line or other non-paragraph block)
  2. Content: Literal text with 4 spaces stripped from each line
  3. End: Non-blank line with fewer than 4 leading spaces
  4. Critical constraint: Cannot interrupt a paragraph - requires blank line before
  5. Blank lines: Preserved within the code block (become part of content)
  6. No info string: Unlike fenced code blocks, no language specified

Files to Modify

  • src/lib.rs - Parser implementation
  • tests/fixtures/blocks/indented_code.toml - New test file

Implementation Steps

1. Add ParserState variant (after line 142)

InIndentedCodeBlock,

2. Add BlockBuilder variant (after line 167)

IndentedCodeBlock {
              lines: Vec<String>,
              },

3. Add helper function to detect indented code line

fn is_indented_code_line<'a>(&self, line: &'a str) ->
              Option<&'a str> {
              if line.starts_with(" ") {
              Some(&line[4..])
              } else if line.starts_with('\t') {
              Some(&line[1..])
              } else {
              None
              }
              }

4. Modify handle_ready_state (line 512, after link definition check)

Add detection AFTER link definitions, BEFORE falling through to paragraph: 

// Check for indented code block (4+ spaces)
              // Must come after list check (lists take precedence)
              if let Some(content) = self.is_indented_code_line(trimmed) {
              self.state = ParserState::InIndentedCodeBlock;
              self.current_block = BlockBuilder::IndentedCodeBlock {
              lines: vec![content.to_string()],
              };
              return None;
              }

5. Add dispatch in process_line (around line 435) 

ParserState::InIndentedCodeBlock =>
              self.handle_in_indented_code_block(line),

6. Add state handler handle_in_indented_code_block 

fn handle_in_indented_code_block(&mut self, line: &str) ->
              Option<String> {
              let trimmed = line.trim_end_matches('\n');

              // Blank line - preserve in code block
              if trimmed.is_empty() {
              if let BlockBuilder::IndentedCodeBlock { lines } = &mut self.current_block {
              lines.push(String::new());
              }
              return None;
              }

              // Still indented? Continue accumulating
              if let Some(content) = self.is_indented_code_line(trimmed) {
              if let BlockBuilder::IndentedCodeBlock { lines } = &mut self.current_block {
              lines.push(content.to_string());
              }
              return None;
              }

              // Not indented - emit block and process line in ready state
              let output = self.emit_current_block();
              let next_output = self.handle_ready_state(line);

              match (output, next_output) {
              (Some(o1), Some(o2)) => Some(format!("{}{}", o1, o2)),
              (Some(o), None) | (None, Some(o)) => Some(o),
              (None, None) => None,
              }
              }

7. Add formatting in emit_current_block (around line 1106) 

BlockBuilder::IndentedCodeBlock { lines } => {
              let mut lines = lines.clone();
              // Strip trailing blank lines
              while lines.last().map_or(false, |l| l.is_empty()) {
              lines.pop();
              }
              Some(self.format_code_block(&lines, ""))
              }

Note: format_code_block already handles empty language by using plain text syntax.

Test File

Create tests/fixtures/blocks/indented_code.toml with tests for: - Basic indented code block - Blank lines preserved within code block - Trailing blank lines stripped - Extra indentation preserved (5+ spaces keeps 1+) - Tab indentation

Verification

cargo fmt
              cargo build
              cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
              cargo test

Manual test:

printf " line1\n line2\n\ndone\n" | cargo run

create a file "deleteme.md" which contains a couple examples of indented code blocks for me to test with

#6

I haven't read the spec - am I correct that there's no way to indicate language for syntax highlighting on indented blocks like there is on fenced code blocks?

That's correct. According to the GFM spec (section 4.4), indented code blocks have no mechanism for specifying a language - they're just literal text with 4 spaces stripped.

Only fenced code blocks support the "info string" after the opening fence: 

# This can have syntax highlighting

vs:

# This is always plain text, no language info possible

This is one reason fenced code blocks are generally preferred in modern markdown - they support syntax highlighting and are visually clearer about where they start and end.

#7

ok, commit this. I added it to the stage already. Then file a PR and include a transcript as per your instructions
