Description

In the readme you mention you can plug into the core parsing:

Even the core Markdown/CommonMark parsing is pluggable, so it allows to disable builtin Markdown/Commonmark parsing (e.g Disable HTML parsing) or change behaviour (e.g change matching # of a headers with @)

Is there an example of this you could share? I'm looking specifically for image and link tags (as I mentioned in your blog post) - I want to rewrite the urls.

The MarkdownSharp way of doing this is to hack the source, for example add an event handler call inside private string DoImages(string text). Given your architecture I'm guessing it's a lot less messy in Markdig.

Research direction

Start with the README section describing pluggable core Markdown/CommonMark parsing, then inspect how image and link tags are handled. Done means documenting or demonstrating a supported way to rewrite their URLs without hacking the parser source.
