"""
Markdown Extension for Liquid-style Tags
----------------------------------------
A markdown extension to allow user-defined tags of the form::

    {% tag arg1 arg2 ... argn %}

Where "tag" is associated with some user-defined extension.
These result in a preprocess step within markdown that produces
either markdown or html.
