+# Markdown parser part 2
+
+The markdown parser is kind of going according to plan. I realised that with the appoach I decided to take I'm going to need a couple of more steps than just going line by line and deciding what type of element each should be.
+
+Let's take an example:
+
+```
+Some **bold** text and then some _cursive_ text
+```
+
+This is not only a text line but it has both bold and cursive text.
+
+So in addition to parsing the markdown files line by line (stage 1), I implemented stage 2 processing with the purpose of expanding the identified elements into child elements. So when a text row element containing the text in the example above is requested to peform its stage 2 processing it will take its text and run it once more through the stage 1 processing to divide it into new symbols. It then calls stage 2 processing of all its new children to make sure every element has been processed.
+
+In the end we should have gone from `TextLine` to `PlainText, Bold, PlainText , Italic, Plaintext`.
+
+Here's the result.
+
+Some **bold** text and then some _cursive_ text
+
+Next up is stage 3 processing which will affect elements depending on their position in the list of elements.
