My text-mode paginator for text files implemented all the way up from machine code now supports a tiny subset of Markdown syntax.

The code is terribly ugly, and there are zero tests. But it did help flush out three bugs in Mu. Next steps:

  • Build out the compiler checks I missed the most.
  • Implement a fake screen and keyboard so I can write tests for this app.
  • Throw the app away and redo it right.
