The confluence parser was made after the twiki parser by Jason. When i first wrote the twiki parser i felt that it was easier to make an adhoc parser instead of a generated one for a language that has many exceptions. (Also i was also reading a TDD book at that time, and i wanted to make some practice, and the adhoc parser was perfect) Here is the original post http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/maven-doxia-dev/200511.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Two years later i think it was a good decision. One developer that never saw the original code was conforable adding new language feature and bugfixes. In terms of of fast rendering mechanism, the twiki parser has a draback: it first builds a block tree (like a DOM tree), and then the block generates the events for the Sink.
