A Markdown to HTML parser written in F# using Microsoft's .NET SDK.

MarkdownToHtml is a lightweight parser that converts Markdown syntax into HTML. Built with functional programming principles in F#, it provides a simple and extensible way to parse and render Markdown elements.

• Heading Support: Convert Markdown headings (H1, H2, etc.) to HTML
• Text Formatting: Support for bold, italic, and strikethrough text
• Paragraphs: Parse standard text paragraphs
• Functional Design: Built with F# discriminated unions for type-safe element handling

• .NET 10.0 SDK or later

dotnet build

dotnet run

• Microsoft.NET.Sdk: .NET 10.0 runtime

The core parsing logic is in Program.fs:

let parseLine (line: string): MarkdownElement option =
    if line.StartsWith("# ") then
        Some (Heading (1, line.Substring(2).Trim()))
    elif line.StartsWith("## ") then
        Some (Heading (2, line.Substring(3).Trim()))
    elif line.StartsWith("**") && line.EndsWith("**") then
        Some (Bold (line.Substring(2, line.Length - 4).Trim()))
    // ... more patterns

• Language: F# (Functional-first .NET language)
• Framework: .NET 10.0
• Type System: F# Discriminated Unions for safe element representation

• List support (ordered and unordered)
• Code block parsing
• Link and image support
• Table rendering
• Block quote handling
• HTML output rendering
