    /// To parse, use <see cref="UiParser.Parse"/> or <see cref="UiParser.ParseInto"/>. To style the parsed output, use <see cref="UiParser.Style{T}"/> before parsing.

    /// <remarks>
    /// Note that this parser is rather rudimentary and doesn't deal well with very complex Markdown documents. Missing features are as follows:
    /// <list type="bullet">
    /// <item><description>Lines that end without a double space are still converted to distinct lines rather than being merged with the next line</description></item>
    /// <item><description>Better list handling, including nested lists</description></item>
    /// <item><description>Horizontal rules</description></item>
    /// <item><description>Tables</description></item>
