Inline KDL

Crate release version Crate license: Parity 7.0.0 Uses Caretaker Maintainership

KDL is a document language with xml-like semantics that looks like you're invoking a bunch of CLI commands!

Inline KDL (short: i-kdl, extension: ikdl, pronounced: i cuddle) is an extension of KDL where KDL fragments can be embedded in a larger text document.

i-kdl uses < and > to indicate a KDL fragment. An i-kdl document is a list of zero or more Texts interspersed with zero or more Nodes.

Examples

Simple:

ikdl Hic voluptatem eum et repudiandae nisi cum qui sed. Voluptatum molestiae recusa quod<note latin="quī" case="nominative" gender="neuter" number="singular"> quas suscipit reprehenderit eos commodi. Dolores earum iste tempore culpa ut nostrum.

Can span multiple lines (remembering to use KDL line continuations where appropriate):

```ikdl Inflection of quī (“who, which”), Proto-Indo-European *kʷod, whence also

. ```

KDL fragment can contain <> in strings etc.

ikdl i-kdl uses <code "<"> and <code ">"> to indicate a KDL fragment.

You can escape a < in text with \\:

ikdl Escaping \< is possible: <true>.
