How It Works

The custom parser processes text line-by-line using regex patterns for block-level elements (headers, blockquotes, code blocks, HR, list items), then inline elements (bold, italic, code, links). The preview pane uses innerHTML to render the parsed output. A debounced input listener (150ms) ensures smooth live updates without excessive re-parsing.
