Is it possible to add custom rules?

[boop5]

I want to add some custom rules like

{item=12345}(foo bar)

which should translate to something like

<span class="item" data-item="12345">foo bar</span>

Looking at the code it doesn't seem like it the tokenizer and parser are hard coded if statements.

I did it by first parsing what I needed first using regexs then passing the rest to marked.

It seems like being able to add custom rules would slow it down and marked seems written for speed.

It would also be a nice feature.

Came here looking for the same. In a similar fashion I'm hoping to convert this in markdown:

I> Here is an info box

To:

<aside class="info">Here is an info box</aside>

Hi guys. Look at this library.

My only two cents at the moment are:

1. This could be interesting from the perspective that writing to match a spec could be "easier", because we could use that capability to match the spec.

2. Is that a direction Marked should go? Essentially letting users create their own Markdown specification...if I'm understanding the proposal properly. (Product Owner perspective says it could be a differentiater in the marketplace.) This is kind of what I've done with 8fold Component and 8fold Elements...but I made it two different libraries. One to handle the lowest level - translating elements. And the other to implement the HTML specification.

Closing as not considered part of the current focus.
