Implement a minimalistic markup usable in the various descriptions, with just the needed elements: headings and paragraphs containing plain, bold or italic text, hyper <link> and unordered lists.

The internal representation is a tree of nodes, and a set of functions to transpose it to/from a textual format, HTML and Quill Delta are included.
