The inline type.

• Text | Text
• HardLineBreak
• CodeInline | Code
• Link | Url | Maybe Title | Inlines
• Image | Source | Maybe Title | Inlines
• HtmlInline | Tag | List ( Attribute, Maybe Value ) | Inlines
• Emphasis | Delimiter Length | Inlines
• Custom | Custom type | Inlines

Transform an Inline into Html using the default html elements.

toHtml (Text "Inner text") == Html.text "Inner text"
toHtml HardLineBreak == Html.br [] []
toHtml (CodeInline code) == Html.code [] [ Html.text code ]

Transform an Inline into a Html, optionally using custom html elements to render inner inlines.

upperText : Inline i -> Html msg
upperText inline =
    case inline of
        Text str ->
            Html.text (String.toUpper str)

        _ ->
            defaultHtml (Just upperText) inline


defaultHtml (Just upperText) (Text "hello") == text "hello"
defaultHtml (Just upperText) (Emphasis 2 [ Text "hello" ]) == strong [] [ text "HELLO" ]
upperText (Text "hello") == text "HELLO"

Note: If the first argument is Nothing, the default html elements will be used to render the inner inlines.

Extract the text from a list of inlines.

inlines : List (Inline i)
inlines =
    [ Text "Heading with "
    , Emphasis 1
        [ Text "emphasis" ]
    ]

extractText inlines == "Heading with emphasis"

-- Original string: "Heading with *emphasis*"
