Syntax Questions

[Jurgens du Toit]

At the end of the day I probably will maintain my own copy, with some
changes, of Markdown. I also don't want to break the syntax. One of my
previous mails I mentioned a way that makes the Markdown more useable (by
being able to usefully use nl2br on the Markdown'ed string) without breaking
the syntax or HTML and plain text presentation.
