		// 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.
		//
		
		
		//
		// Showdown usage:
		//
		//   var text = "Markdown *rocks*.";

		//   var html = converter.makeHtml(text);

		//   alert(html);

		// file before uncommenting it.
