""" The block parser handles basic parsing of Markdown blocks. It doesn't concern itself with inline elements such as `**bold**` or `*italics*`, but rather just catches blocks, lists, quotes, etc. The `BlockParser` is made up of a bunch of `BlockProcessors`, each handling a different type of block. Extensions may add/replace/remove `BlockProcessors` as they need to alter how Markdown blocks are parsed.

This utility class is used to track the state of the `BlockParser` and support multiple levels if nesting. It's just a simple API wrapped around a list. Each time a state is set, that state is appended to the end of the list. Each time a state is reset, that state is removed from the end of the list.
