pillars runs into an infinite loop on a simple typo

Apparently this is enough to run into an infinite loop somewhere.

text := '- one

- # cry'.

doc := PRPillarParser parse: text.

Also question regarding pillar syntax, is not possible to indent it in the syntax?

e.g.

- one

-# one.one

- two

-# two.one

-# two.two

Flattening it makes an _indented_ list hard to read (and defeats the point why we indent things in the first place...)

Re: pillars runs into an infinite loop on a simple typo

No pillar is line based and the beginning of the line is key.

Re: pillars runs into an infinite loop on a simple typo

While we are at it, Pillar cannot parse strikethrough if it is on the start of the line

Re: pillars runs into an infinite loop on a simple typo

This is strange because we should probably have test for this.
Can you paste your example?

Re: pillars runs into an infinite loop on a simple typo

It interprets it as an unordered list

text := '--text--'.

doc := PRPillarParser parse: text.

PRPillarWriter write: doc. "'-

--text\-\-'"

it thinks that it is a unordered list as you can see by the writing out.

But imho producing unordered list is also wrong because there is no preceeding "first level" (two dashes indicate 2. level nesting, but there was no 1. level)
