Async Support

[Benjscho]

Hi there,

I'm running into an issue trying to use comrak::parse_document in an async function due to the use of RefCell in the AstNode type. I was wondering if anyone had run into this before and if there were any workarounds for using parse_document in an async (Send) context?

Thanks for creating a fantastic crate!

Hi! Sorry for not getting back to you (much) sooner. I haven't attempted this myself, and I'm assuming no-one else has — or at least, no-one else has succeeded.

If there's a concrete example you can share, that would help! I don't do much with async these days and so I'm not sure exactly what you're running into.

If you're using tokio, take a look at spawn_local.
