Query about emphasis

[Simon Bull]

Okay, thanks for the pointers -- I will see how far I get.

So what is the relationship (if any) between the Python-Markdown[1] and the
Markdown2[2] implementations?

Is this list primarily oriented toward discussion of one over the other, or
open to more general discussion?
