Refactor a Markdown parser.
The markdown exercise is a refactoring exercise. There is code that parses a given string with Markdown syntax and returns the associated HTML for that string. Even though this code is confusingly written and hard to follow, somehow it works and all the tests are passing! Your challenge is to re-write this code to make it easier to read and maintain while still making sure that all the tests keep passing.
It would be helpful if you made notes of what you did in your refactoring in comments so reviewers can see that, but it isn't strictly necessary. The most important thing is to make the code better!
For this exercise the following C# feature comes in handy:
- String Interpolation (C# 6 and up).
To run the tests, run the command dotnet test
from within the exercise directory.
Initially, only the first test will be enabled. This is to encourage you to solve the exercise one step at a time.
Once you get the first test passing, remove the Skip
property from the next test and work on getting that test passing.
Once none of the tests are skipped and they are all passing, you can submit your solution
using exercism submit Markdown.cs
