 .vhyrro | The parser has been doing it correctly the whole time ;) | 16:31:47 |
 boltless | wait, can conflict conflict bold valid output? | 16:31:50 |
| boltless | wut | 16:31:53 |
| .vhyrro | yep | 16:31:55 |
| .vhyrro | because at one point we had a small discussion to make a syntax amendment that permits bold in bold | 16:32:06 |
| .vhyrro | and last I checked the parser was doing exactly this the entire time | 16:32:39 |
| .vhyrro | *bold *what* huh* | 16:32:45 |
| .vhyrro | this is counterintuitively more parser friendly, at the very least | 16:33:03 |
| .vhyrro | did I just ruin 20 years of work or | 16:33:27 |
| boltless | | 16:33:37 |
| .vhyrro | It shouldn't be difficult to fix for what it's worth | 16:34:05 |
| .vhyrro | in my parser implementation I was using an incrementing counter in a hashmap which handled all of the cases | 16:34:16 |
| .vhyrro | and no matter how the grammar is laid out if the scanner is doing the right thing it should "just work™️' | 16:34:31 |
| boltless | yes, that hashmap counting was genius | 16:35:06 |
| .vhyrro | i can't tell if that was sarcastic | 16:35:20 |
| boltless | I mean, really that worked before the _failed_close implement | 16:35:52 |
| .vhyrro | sounds like it should still work to be fair, as long as they're both in sync (i.e., upon generating a _failed_close you decrement the corresponding entry in the hashmap, or if it's a failed close for all of the attached modifiers in the current paragraph then you could hashmap.clear();) | 16:37:24 |
| .vhyrro | it might be somewhat tricky to figure out which item you just closed, as you don't have that sort of information in the scanner | 16:37:57 |
| .vhyrro | perhaps another variable which caches the last opened modifier and which serves as an index into the hashmap? then when you generate a failed_close you look at this variable and decrement the appropriate entry in the hashmap itself | 16:38:50 |
| boltless | I was thinking of some kind of stack (deque actually) to cache that information | 16:40:14 |
| .vhyrro | yeah that could work | 16:40:30 |
| .vhyrro | ah yeah because you could have many failed_closes | 16:40:37 |
| boltless | which (in theory) also allows
*bold *bold*
to be all bold | 16:40:39 |
| .vhyrro | okay I see | 16:40:50 |
| boltless | I’m done for today though, will try implementing both behavior tomorrow. | 16:41:50 |
