Thanks for your work, this is a great idea.
I’ve been thinking recently about offering a feature similar to
groovy.xml.MarkupBuilder.
https://groovy-lang.org/processing-xml.html#_creating_xml
In Groovy 6，groovy-markdown provides MarkdownSlurper to read markdown document,
http://www.groovy-lang.org/reading-markdown.html
I hope it can also provide an easy way to create Markdown documents like
MarkupBuilder.
def writer = new StringWriter()
def mdb = new MarkdownBuilder(writer)
mdb.records() {
heading(level: 1) {
text 'Title'
}
heading(level: 2, text: 'Summary')
paragraph(value: 'The work is on track.')
heading(level: 2, text: 'Next Steps')
list {
item 'Item one'
item 'Item two'
}
}
def doc = new MarkdownSlurper().parseText(writer.toString())
def summary = doc.section('Summary')
assert summary[0].type == 'paragraph'
assert summary[0].children[0].value == 'The work is on track.'
def next = doc.section('Next Steps')
assert next[0].type == 'list'
assert next[0].items*.text == ['Item one', 'Item two']
