<p><a href="http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax" rel="nofollow ugc">Markdown syntax</a> allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format.</p>
<p>Markdown for WordPress and bbPress (Markdown-WPBB) is based on the famed PHP Markdown Extra by <a href="http://www.michelf.com/projects/php-markdown/" rel="nofollow ugc">Michel Fortin</a>, in turn based on the original Perl version by <a href="http://www.daringfireball.net/" rel="nofollow ugc">John Gruber</a>. All I did was make the same package work with bbPress too. ^^</p>

<p>Not really a bug so much, but an issue: Textile 2 is freaking huge (145k > 4000 lines of code) so it can be quite a burden on your server. If you can get away with <em>not</em> using it, I highly reccomend you do so.</p>

<p>Additionally, in Textile 2 there is a feature that would grab an image via PHP and get it’s height and width for placing in the IMG tags. This has been disabled It literally took a post from 1 second to display straight to 6 seconds — completely unacceptable.</p>
