library size is extremely compact 2.2k, seriously, can you imagine! I wonder if I can do better than this, since it seems mostly a matter of a few regular expressions and then DOM manipulation? EDIT Reviewing the source code [0] the state-machine approach, when properly implemented can beat* [1] an equivalent RE performance-wise. It still may be interesting to see if the code size could substantially reduced this way.

I have recently confirmed minimal hand-implemented state machines generally beating Regexp's in Golang.
