Attributes for spans?

Pandoc supports the following syntax:

[This is *some text*]{.class key="val"}

It’d be lovely to have that as an option.

I’ve just created https://github.com/mb21/markdown-it-bracketed-spans

Seems to work quite well when used together with markdown-it-attrs. But currently, it create a span even on an invalid attribute, e.g. [foo]{ bar -> <span>foo</span> bar. Thus my question: does markdown-it-attrs expose a utility function that I can use? Similar to how I used state.md.helpers.parseLinkLabelto parse the first part of the span…?

@mb21 Nice work!

This plugin does use the parsed token stream, but you might find hasDelimiters in https://github.com/arve0/markdown-it-attrs/blob/master/utils.js useful.
