[question] Finding a block

[ganar]

I need to be able to find a block defined by the occurrence of an H2 title followed by a number of html elements and ending just before the opening of following H2, or the end of the container, in order to add a <section> around it. Here is an example of the markdown:

##Ingredients

* Garlic
* Bread
* Cherry tomatos

##Preparation

* Peel the garlic
* Cut the cherry tomatoes in half
* Toast the bread
* Eat the whole thing

The final output from twig should be something like this:

<section>
<h2>Ingredients</h2>
<ul>(…)</ul>
</section>

<section>
<h2>Preparation</h2>
<ul>(…)</ul>
</section>

Can Stringy help me to do that? How?

Any help on the subject is appreciated!

Stringy doesn't have any special functions for assisting with that. Are you converting from markdown to HTML? If there's only a single level of nesting as in this example, you could convert the first h2 to <section><h2></h2>, each subsequent to </section><section><h2></h2>, and append a closing </section>.

That said, it sounds like you just want a markdown parser: https://github.com/erusev/parsedown
