First step rendering a page The API responds with a bunch of paragraphs which the client converts into Paragraph objects. This turns the paragraphs in a PostResponse's Paragraph objects into the form needed to render them on a page. This includes converting flat list elements into list elements nested by a UL. And adding a limited markups along the way. The array of paragraphs is passed to a recursive function. The function takes the first paragraph and either wraps the (marked up) contents in a container tag (like Paragraph or Heading3), and then moves onto the next tag. If it finds a list, it starts parsing the next paragraphs as a list instead. Originally, this was implemented like so: ```crystal paragraph = paragraphs.shift if list? convert_list([paragraph] + paragraphs) end ``` However, passing the `paragraphs` after adding it to the already shifted `paragraph` creates a new object. This means `paragraphs` won't be mutated and once the list is parsed, it starts with the next element of the list. Instead, the element is `shift`ed inside each converter. ```crystal if paragraphs.first == list? convert_list(paragraphs) end def convert_list(paragraphs) paragraph = paragraphs.shift # ... end ``` When rendering, there is an Empty and Container object. These represent a kind of "null object" for both leafs and parent objects respectively. They should never actually render. Emptys are filtered out, and Containers are never created explicitly but this will make the types pass. IFrames are a bit of a special case. Each IFrame has custom data on it that this system would need to be aware of. For now, instead of trying to parse the seemingly large number of iframe variations and dealing with embedded iframe problems, this will just keep track of the source page URL and send the user there with a link.

Fix markup errors caused by UTF-16/8 differences Medium uses UTF-16 character offsets (likely to make it easier to parse in JavaScript) but Crystal uses UTF-8. Converting strings to UTF-16 to do offset calculation then back to UFT-8 fixes some markup bugs. --- Medium calculates markup offsets using UTF-16 encoding. Some characters like Emoji are count as multiple bytes which affects those offsets. For example in UTF-16 💸 is worth two bytes, but Crystal strings only count it as one. This is a problem for markup generation because it can offset the markup and even cause out-of-range errors. Take the following example: 💸💸! Imagine that `!` was bold but the emoji isn't. For Crystal, this starts at char index 2, end at char index 3. Medium's markup will say markup goes from character 4 to 5. In a 3 character string like this, trying to access character range 4...5 is an error because 5 is already out of bounds. My theory is that this is meant to be compatible with JavaScript's string length calculations, as Medium is primarily a platform built for the web: ```js "a".length // 1 "💸".length // 2 "👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩".length // 11 ``` To get these same numbers in Crystal strings must be converted to UTF-16: ```crystal "a".to_utf16.size # 1 "💸".to_utf16.size # 2 "👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩".to_utf16.size # 11 ``` The MarkupConverter now converts text into UFT-16 byte arrays on initialization. Once it's figured out the range of bytes needed for each piece of markup, it converts it back into UTF-8 strings.

The function takes the first paragraph and either wraps the (marked up) contents in a container tag (like Paragraph or Heading3), and then moves onto the next tag. If it finds a list, it starts parsing the next paragraphs as a list instead. Originally, this was implemented like so: ```crystal paragraph = paragraphs.shift if list? convert_list([paragraph] + paragraphs) end ``` However, passing the `paragraphs` after adding it to the already shifted `paragraph` creates a new object. This means `paragraphs` won't be mutated and once the list is parsed, it starts with the next element of the list. Instead, the element is `shift`ed inside each converter. ```crystal if paragraphs.first == list? convert_list(paragraphs) end def convert_list(paragraphs) paragraph = paragraphs.shift # ... end ``` When rendering, there is an Empty and Container object. These represent a kind of "null object" for both leafs and parent objects respectively. They should never actually render. Emptys are filtered out, and Containers are never created explicitly but this will make the types pass. IFrames are a bit of a special case. Each IFrame has custom data on it that this system would need to be aware of. For now, instead of trying to parse the seemingly large number of iframe variations and dealing with embedded iframe problems, this will just keep track of the source page URL and send the user there with a link.
