| squish                               | If `false` , markers that are split as part of the markup parsing process will not be re-merged before returning the result. |
| sort                                 | If `true` , markers will be sorted based on their position in the input.å                                                    |
| `bool` addImplicitCharacterAttribute | If true, the parser will attempt to detect a character name in the text and add a `[character]` attribute for it.            |
