ItalicAstaParser

An IMfmParser implementation for detecting "italic" syntax. The string enclosed by "*" will be the search result.

Only allow characters matching the regex pattern of a-z0-9 \t (case-insensitive)
If the character before the starting symbol (the first "*") matches a-z0-9 (case-insensitive), it is not recognized as italic formatting.
The content cannot be left empty.

Functions

open override fun find(input: String, startAt: Int, context: IMfmParserContext): IMfmParserResult

Finds a substring in the input string starting from a given index.

Returns a negative (not) version of the current MFM parser. A negative parser will return a failure result if the substring is found.

Returns an optional version of the current substring parser. An optional parser will return a successful result even if the substring is not found.
