I've also been working on a PHP/MySQL application in which the users
edit some text in Markdown which will later be produced in a PDF (with
FPDF) document.  My current solution is to convert the Markdown source
into HTML, which I can rely upon being parseable by PHP's event-style
parsing.  If I could get these event hooks directly into the Markdown
parser, I could eliminate a layer of complexity from my application!
