If you are accessing this repository from Planète Casio's forge, keep in mind that it is only a mirror and that the real repository is located in my forge for now.

What is left to do

• Implement the not_within_itself attribute (for [*]).
• Implement the allowed_tags attribute to only allow a set of tags within itself.
• Implement the only_allowed_tags attribute (for [list] blah [*] to ignore blah and anything outside of [*] tags which is in allow_tags).
• Add an [imgurl] tag?
• Manage lightscript (or even markdown?) as output languages;
• Check where the errors are to display them to the user:
  • Count character offset, line number and column number in the lexer;
  • Produce readable exceptions;
  • Make a clean interface to transmit them;
• Check why exceptions on raw tags effectively escape the content, as it shouldn't…?
• Look for security flaws (we really don't want stored XSS flaws!).
• Implement match names (such as \[\*+\] for lists).
• Manage keywords with tags such as [tag key=value other="something else"].
