@roopeshchander Hi! I saw vfmd and was interested in it, but it doesn't seem to define an AST intermediate form. Any plans for one?

@dsilverstone The AST format is not in the scope of the spec, but the implementation parses md to AST and renders the AST to HTML.

@roopeshchander I would suggest that the AST be formally part of the spec since for some of us, mdwn->AST is more useful than mdwn->HTML.

@dsilverstone What do you mean by formally specifying the AST? Something like pandoc's json? What is the motivation?

@roopeshchander Well, I'd like to have tools which can read mdwn, manipulate the AST and write mdwn back out for a start.
