//! Multi-format interoperability for Lex documents
//!
//!     This crate provides a uniform interface for converting between Lex AST and various document
//!     formats (Markdown, HTML, Pandoc JSON, etc.).
//!
//!     TLDR: For format authors:
//!         - Babel never parses or serializes any format, but instead relies on the format's libraries
//!         - The conversion should be by converting to the IR, running the common code in common if relevant (it usually is), then to the AST of the target format.
//!         - We should use the testing harness (see lex-core/src/lex/testing.rs) to load documents and process them into ASTs.
//!         - Each element should use the harness above and the available file for isolated element testing with unit tests (load with the lib, assert with AST / IR)
//!         - Each format should have trifecta unit tested in from and to formats to lex.
//!         - Each format should have a kitchensink unit tested in from and to formats to lex
//!         - Read the README.lex for full details
//!
//! Architecture
//!
//!     The goal here is to, as much as possible, split what is the common logic for multiple formats
//!     conversions into a format agnostic layer. This is done by using the IR representation (./ir/mod.rs),
//!     and having the common code in ./common/mod.rs. This allows for the format specific code to be focused on the data format transformations, while having a strong, focused core that can be well tested in isolation.
//!
//!     This is a pure lib, that is, it powers the lex-cli but is shell agnostic, that is no code
//!     should be written that supposes a shell environment, be it to std print, env vars etc.

//!     Note that rust does not by default discover tests in subdirectories, so we need to include these
//!     in the mod.
//!
//!
//! Core Algorithms
//!
//!     The most complex part of the work is reconstructing a nested representation from a flat document, followed by the reverse operations. For this reason we have a common IR (./ir/mod.rs) that is used for all formats.
//!     Over this representation we implement both algorithms (see ./common/flat_to_nested.rs and ./common/nested_to_flat.rs).
//!     This means that all the heavy lifting is done by a core, well tested and maintained module,
//!     freeing format adaptations to be focused on the simpler data format transformations.
//!
//!
//! Formats
//!
//!     Format specific capabilities are implemented with the Format trait. Formats should have a
//!     parse() and serialize() method, a name and file extensions. See the trait def [./format.rs]
//!     - Format trait: Uniform interface for all formats (parsing and/or serialization)
//!     - FormatRegistry: Centralized discovery and selection of formats
//!     - Format implementations: Concrete implementations for each supported format
//!
//!
//! The Lex Format
//!
//!     The Lex format itself is implemented as a format, see ./formats/lex/mod.rs, which allows for
//!     a homogeneous API where all formats have identical interfaces.
//!
//!     Note that Lex is a more expressive format than most, which means that converting from Lex is
//!     simple, but always lossy. In particular converting to Lex requires some consideration on how
//!     to best represent the author's intent.
//!
//!     This means that full format interop round tripping is not possible.
//!
//! Format Selection
//!
//!     The choice for the formats is pretty sensible:
//!
//!     - HTML: self-arguing, as it's the most common format for publishing and viewing.
//!     - Markdown: both in and to, as Markdown is the universal format for plain text editing.
//!     - Tag (XML): serializing Lex to a structural XML representation is trivial and useful for storage.
//!     - RFC XML: parse-only import from IETF RFC XML (v3) documents.
//!
//!     These are table stakes, that is a format that can't export to HTML, convert to markdown or
//!     lack a good semantic pure XML output is a non starter.
//!
//!     For everything else, there are good arguments for a variety of formats. The one that has the strongest fit
//!     and use case is LaTeX, as Lex can be very useful for scientific writing. But LaTeX is
//!     complicated, and having Pandoc in the pipeline allows us to serve reasonably well pretty much
//!     any other format.
//!
//! Library Choices
//!
//!     This, not being Lex's core, means that we will offload as much as possible to better, specialized crates
//!     for each format. The scope here is mainly to adapt the ASTs from Lex to the format or vice
//!     versa. For example we never write the serializer for, say, Markdown, but pass the AST to the
//!     Markdown library. To support a format inbound, we write the format AST → Lex AST adapter.
//!     Likewise, for outbound formats we will do the reverse, converting from the Lex AST to the
//!     format's.
//!
//!     As much as possible, we will use Rust crates, and avoid shelling out and having outside dependencies.
