trait TextParsers extends Parsers

Base text parsers that provide optimized low-level parsers for typical requirements of text markup parsers. In particular they are meant as an efficient replacement for scenarios where usually regex parsers are used. In cases where different parsers need to be tried for relatively short input sequences, regex parsers tend to be less efficient. Furthermore, these base parsers may also improve readability, as it allows to combine simple low-level parsers to higher-level parsers based on the Laika combinator API, instead of producing long regexes which may be hard to read.
