Syntax for extensions

[Waylan Limberg]

Which implementation of markdown are you using (perl, php, python,
ruby...)? The answer would depend to a large extent upon that.

For example, Python-Markdown has a fairly simple extension api [1] for
just that sort of thing, but to my knowledge, no other implementation
shares anything that closely resembles it.
