Delay in markup previews project

There was a delay in my project, I didn't do much last week - there were
final exams in the university and I had to prepare well. Now, when I finally
finished this term, I can concentrate on the project and be productive.

There were updates on the code since my last blog post.
I added a simple implementation of grouped tokens handling. It can be used
for the cases when you need to treat a set of equal tokens, which go one after
another, as a one big separate token.

For example, it can be used for list processing. Here is a simple list in
Markdown format:
* this is * a bulleted * list


Each line is treated as a list item (so it can be translated to
<li>

html tag), but all three lines grouped together can be treated as a whole
list

and can be translated to <ul> tag.
You can test how it works here: grouped
tokens test.
David gave me good advices on how should I rewrite some parts of code
and

how it should work. And while inspecting the code I wrote David added a
simple

definition of Mediawiki syntax. You can try it here: languages
test.
Next week I plan to finish a parser and start developing of
token-processing

functions so I can have a simple working prototype of Markdown parser
to

the end of next week.
