Is there a function to which a string containing an XML definition may be passed directly

[anchpop]

In my project, the definitions are embedded in the actual executable and are not present as external files. The only function I can find for creating a Syntax is parseSyntaxDefinition, which takes a filename and, from what I can tell, reads the file at that location and parses it. Is there a function which can parse a String directly?

No, but there should be. This wouldn't be too hard to add. If you look at HXT, there's readFromString (or something) in addition to readDocument, so a few changes in Commonmark.Parser could do the trick.

I've added parseSyntaxDefinitionFromString in master. Try it out.

Thanks! Works perfectly. This made my day 😊
