// The following text is included for historical reasons, but should

//
// Wherever possible, Showdown is a straight, line-by-line port
// of the Perl version of Markdown.
//
// This is not a normal parser design; it's basically just a
// series of string substitutions.  It's hard to read and
// maintain this way,  but keeping Showdown close to the original
// design makes it easier to port new features.
//
// More importantly, Showdown behaves like markdown.pl in most
// edge cases.  So web applications can do client-side preview
// in Javascript, and then build identical HTML on the server.
//
// This port needs the new RegExp functionality of ECMA 262,
// 3rd Edition (i.e. Javascript 1.5).  Most modern web browsers
// should do fine.  Even with the new regular expression features,
// We do a lot of work to emulate Perl's regex functionality.
// The tricky changes in this file mostly have the "attacklab:"
// label.  Major or self-explanatory changes don't.
//
// Smart diff tools like Araxis Merge will be able to match up
// this file with markdown.pl in a useful way.  A little tweaking
// helps: in a copy of markdown.pl, replace "#" with "//" and
// replace "$text" with "text".  Be sure to ignore whitespace
// and line endings.
//


//
// Usage:
//
//   var text = "Markdown *rocks*.";
//
//   var converter = new Markdown.Converter();
//   var html = converter.makeHtml(text);
//
//   alert(html);
//
// Note: move the sample code to the bottom of this
// file before uncommenting it.
