Markdown and Whisper (was [ANN] PHP Markdown 1.0b5)

[Michel Fortin]

I just took a look at Whisper. The support for Textile is totally hard 
coded into Whisper. Making a class for Markdown won't change anything. 
However it's very easy to use it with Markdown with a little addition. 
First, rename your markdown.php file to classTextile.php. Then add this 
code at the start of the renamed markdown file:

	class Textile {
	    function TextileThis($text, $lite='', $encode='', $noimage='', 
$strict='') {
	        return Markdown($text);
	    }
	}

Put it in the Whisper plugin directory instead of Textile and voilà!
