Python-Markdown
===============

Converts Markdown to HTML.  Basic usage as a module:

    import markdown
    md = Markdown()
    html = markdown.convert(your_text_string)

See http://www.freewisdom.org/projects/python-markdown/ for more
information and instructions on how to extend the functionality of the
script.  (You might want to read that before you try modifying this
file.)

======================================================================

The three classes below implement some of the most basic DOM
methods.  I use this instead of minidom because I need a simpler
functionality and do not want to require additional libraries.

Importantly, NanoDom does not do normalization, which is what we
want. It also adds extra white space when converting DOM to string

======================================================================
========================== INLINE PATTERNS ===========================
======================================================================

Inline patterns such as *emphasis* are handled by means of auxiliary
objects, one per pattern.  Pattern objects must be instances of classes
that extend markdown.Pattern.  Each pattern object uses a single regular
expression and needs support the following methods:

  pattern.getCompiledRegExp() - returns a regular expression

  pattern.handleMatch(m, doc) - takes a match object and returns
                                a NanoDom node (as a part of the provided
                                doc) or None

All of python markdown's built-in patterns subclass from Patter,
but you can add additional patterns that don't.

Also note that all the regular expressions used by inline must
capture the whole block.  For this reason, they all start with
'^(.*)' and end with '(.*)!'.  In case with built-in expression
Pattern takes care of adding the "^(.*)" and "(.*)!".

Finally, the order in which regular expressions are applied is very
important - e.g. if we first replace http://.../ links with <a> tags
and _then_ try to replace inline html, we would end up with a mess.
So, we apply the expressions in the following order:

       * escape and backticks have to go before everything else, so
         that we can preempt any markdown patterns by escaping them.

       * then we handle auto-links (must be done before inline html)

       * then we handle inline HTML.  At this point we will simply
         replace all inline HTML strings with a placeholder and add
         the actual HTML to a hash.

       * then inline images (must be done before links)

       * then bracketed links, first regular then reference-style

       * finally we apply strong and emphasis
