+# HopDown Tokenizer Design
+
+## Problem
+
+The regex-based inline parser and serializer can't reliably distinguish
+structural delimiters from literal text characters. This causes:
+- `toMarkdown` escaping bugs (over-escaping inside inline tags, under-escaping
+  in text nodes)
+- Round-trip failures (`toHTML(toMarkdown(html)) !== html`)
+- Fragile interactions between features (underscore normalization + strikethrough,
+  HTML passthrough + escaping)
+
+## Invariants
+
+1. `toHTML` satisfies GFM spec rules 1-15
+2. `toMarkdown` always emits the canonical form
+3. `toHTML(toMarkdown(html)) === html` (single-pass round-trip)
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Token types
+
+```
+text      — literal characters, will be escaped during serialization
+delimiter — structural marker (**, *, ~~, `, etc.)
+html      — raw HTML tag passthrough
+break     — hard line break (<br>)
+```
+
+### Inline tokenizer (markdown → tokens)
+
+Scans left-to-right, character by character. Maintains a stack of open
+delimiters. Produces a flat token stream:
+
+```
+Input:  "hello **bold *nested*** end"
+Tokens: [text "hello "] [open **] [text "bold "] [open *] [text "nested"] [close *] [close **] [text " end"]
+```
+
+The tokenizer handles:
+- Backslash escapes: `\*` → text token containing `*`
+- Entity resolution: `&amp;` → text token containing `&`
+- Flanking rules: only emit delimiter tokens when flanking conditions are met
+- Code spans: `` ` `` opens a code span that consumes everything until the matching `` ` ``
+- Links: `[text](url)` parsed as a unit
+- Autolinks: `<url>` and bare URLs
+- Hard line breaks: trailing spaces or `\` before newline
+- HTML tags: `<span>` etc. passed through as html tokens
+
+### Inline parser (tokens → HTML)
+
+Walks the token stream and matches open/close delimiter pairs using a
+stack. Produces HTML string. Handles:
+- Delimiter pairing with precedence (*** before ** before *)
+- Multiple-of-3 rule
+- Nesting validation (no em inside em, no links inside links)
+
+### Serializer (DOM → tokens → markdown)
+
+Walks the DOM tree. For each node:
+- Text nodes → text tokens (the serializer knows these need escaping)
+- Element nodes → look up the tag, emit delimiter tokens + recurse into children
+- Unknown elements → recurse into children
+
+Then the token stream is serialized to a string:
+- Delimiter tokens → emitted verbatim (they're structural)
+- Text tokens → characters that would be misinterpreted as delimiters are
+  backslash-escaped. The serializer knows exactly which characters are
+  dangerous because it knows what delimiters exist.
+- HTML tokens → emitted verbatim
+
+### Why this solves the round-trip problem
+
+The key insight: delimiter tokens and text tokens are different types.
+When serializing `<strong>hello *world*</strong>`, the output is:
+
+```
+[delim **] [text "hello "] [delim *] [text "world"] [delim *] [delim **]
+```
+
+The `*` around "world" are delimiter tokens (from the nested `<em>`).
+If instead the text contained a literal `*`:
+
+```
+<strong>hello * world</strong>
+```
+
+The output would be:
+
+```
+[delim **] [text "hello * world"] [delim **]
+```
+
+The `*` is a text token. During serialization, the text token scanner
+sees `*` and escapes it to `\*` because `*` is a known delimiter character.
+The delimiter tokens are never escaped. No ambiguity.
+
+## Files
+
+- `types.ts` — Token type, updated Tag interface
+- `tokenizer.ts` — Inline tokenizer (markdown → tokens)
+- `serializer.ts` — DOM → tokens → markdown string
+- `hopdown.ts` — Orchestrator (block parsing, delegates inline to tokenizer)
+- `tags.ts` — Tag definitions (simplified: no more regex patterns)
+
+## Migration
+
+The Tag interface changes:
+- `pattern` field removed (tokenizer handles delimiter matching)
+- `toMarkdown` returns Token[] instead of string
+- `match` stays the same (block-level matching is already clean)
+- `toHTML` stays the same
+
+The HopDown public API stays the same:
+- `toHTML(markdown)` — unchanged
+- `toMarkdown(html)` — unchanged
+- `findCompletePair`, `findUnmatchedOpener` — reimplemented on tokenizer
+- `getTagForElement`, `getEditableSelector` — unchanged
