func Parse ¶

func Parse(input string) ([]Node, error)

Parse a multi-line input string into trees of nodes. For example:

a
 a1
  a11
 a2
b
 b1

is parsed into two Nodes (a and b). Node a has two children (a1, a2), and a2 has one child (a11); node b has one child (b1).

The indentation level is arbitrary but it must be consistent. across nodes. For example, the following is not valid:

a
 a1
b
  b1

Tabs cannot be used for indentation (they can cause confusion if editor settings vary). Nodes cannot be skipped, for example the following is not valid:

a
  a1
    a11
b
    b12
