Showdown v0.9

Showdown tries, as much as possible, a line-by-line port of the original Perl version of Markdown.

This is not a normal parser design, but a series of string substitutions.  

Showdown behaves like markdown.pl in most edge cases.

Web applications can do client-side preview in JavaScript, and then build identical HTML on the server.

Here are some key features of "Showdown":

· Real-time preview
· Converting syntax on demand
· Converting text and syntax at every key-stroke
· Converting text and syntax in the background

Requirements:

· JavaScript 1.5 or higher on client side
