How to parse markdown docs to detect code spans?

[tamalsaha]

I would like to write a tool that scans markdown files to detect the code span (the 3 backtick sections) and extract those texts and their line number in the original file. Is something like this possible with this library? Do you have any example how to access the AST and do something like this?

Thanks.

I'd like to do the same sort of thing with words between tilde symbols (so a marked up document could be processed in order to remove any words identified as strikethrough words, between the tilde symbols.)

All extensions are actually good examples, just have a look at how they are organized and play from there.

Thank you! Good suggestion :) Appreciate this - I'll give it a try

@zzwx , is there a way to detect line number in the original doc from the parser? I don't see a way.

Just theorizing:
reader.PeekLine() seems to return a segment. May be you can use that to traverse back to original source and count the amount of new lines up to Start or Stop, depending on your needs.
Also nodes that are of *BaseBlock type and derivatives have Lines() method to refer back to the source. Others have a Segment property.

Thanks, @zzwx ! I was able to get this to work.
