Ruby wrapper around David Loren Parsons' discount, a fast, BSD-licensed c implementation of John Gruber's Markdown plus some aspects of SmartyPants. Markdown is a text-to-HTML conversion language for web writers, inspired by the format of plain-text e-mail messages. Markdown allows you to write in an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML). WWW: http://github.com/rtomayko/rdiscount/
