Markdown Parsing

I added markdown parsing to the comment system.

This is a flexible formatting system that allows people to format their comments without giving full HTML access.

Some basic usage tips:

# Creates a headline:

#HeadLine Text

Enclosing text in ** will make the text bold.

**Bold Text**

Enclosing text in * will make the text italic.

*Italic Text*

To paste code, simply increment each line by 4 spaces.

This is a code block
Each line needs to be incremented 4 spaces.

To create a hyperlink use the following syntax:

[Description Of Link](Url to Link)
[Google](http://www.google.com)

If you need to use a markdown character in a sentence and want markdown to ignore it, escape it with a \.

I don't want \*this\* text to be italic.

I just thought I'd post this up so I have a permanent link to point people to for Markdown directions.
