Upper and lower case latters and roman numerals may
now be used as well as a ')' instead of a '.' to
terminate the marker.
The style sheet must be included for the ')' to
show otherwise it will display as a '.' instead.

Clean up the formatting in baiscs and syntax to make it
more readable as a text document.
This is now possible by making use of the automatic
anchors for top-level headers and '~~~~~' style h3's.

Long documents often need to link within themselves in order to
provide a convenient table of contents section.
To facilitate this, all setext-style and atx-style headers defined
at the top-level (i.e. they start at the left margin) now have
automatic anchors added to them and link definitions added for
them provided there is not already a link definition with the
same id present.
These can be easily targeted using the "implicit link name"
shortcut (e.g. [Foo][]).

Continue to mention that Markdown expands all tabs to spaces
before doing anything else and that it guarantees to expaned
tabs withing ```-delimited code blocks to 8-character tab-stop
positions.
Otherwise always talk about "indent" levels in terms of 4
spaces per level.
There is far too much Markdown content in existence already
that assumes indenting by 4 spaces gives a new indent level.
That does not necessarily imply that all the creators of these
documents have incorrectly attempted to alter the hard-coded
terminal physical tab-stop settings from the fixed value of 8
to something else that the docs seemed to imply was 4.
Users with some other tab-stop setting were left out in the
cold by the docs. In particular, a tab-stop setting of 3 would
have rendered the examples completely useless and the text just
plain wrong.
With this change the docs no longer assume anything in particular
about the user's tab-stop settings.

Cleanup whitespace throughout the code and Markdown sources.
Fix the formatting of the POD documentation so it looks nice
when formatted as either text or html.
Tidy up the license and copyright information.
Retain '<' and '>' around "auto" links.
Avoid using tabs when producing nested <blockquote>...</blockquote>
content.

Get rid of ".text" extension.
Use standard "README" and "LICENSE" names for those.
The help files are markdown so make them have a .md extension.
Markdown.pl is kept as is (rather than changing it to markdown.pl)
because it's also a Perl module (Markdown) and Perl module names
typically start with an uppercase letter. Were it to be renamed
to a ".pm" it would end up being Markdown.pm NOT markdown.pm.

Handle ```-delimited code blocks earlier so that tabs within them
can be correctly expanded to 8-character tab stop positions and
also to avoid the result being incorrectly interpreted any further.

Non-indented code blocks may be used by preceding them
with a line consisting of 3 (or more) ` characters and
following them with a line consisting of the same
number of backtick characters.

Markdown.pl (incorrectly) expands hard tabs to spaces
using a tab stops set 4 spaces apart.
While it would be nice to fix this for code blocks, it
expands the tabs to spaces before doing anything else
so it would be non-trivial to do so.
Instead explain this deviant behavior in the help
files.

The '*' character can still be used for emphasis within
a word, but '_' will remain unchanged unless it starts
and ends a word.

Using a '~' underline will now generate an h3 header.
A preceding overline made with the same character as the underline
is now permitted.
