**How does Parsedown work?**
It tries to read Markdown like a human. First, it looks at the lines. Its interested in how the lines start. This helps it recognise blocks. It knows, for example, that if a line start with a `-` then it perhaps belongs to a list. Once it recognises the blocks, it continues to the content. As it reads, it watches out for special characters. This helps it recognise inline elements (or inlines).

We call this approach "line based". We believe that Parsedown is the first Markdown parser to use it. Since the release of Parsedown, other developers have used the same approach to develop other Markdown parsers in PHP and in other languages.
