Recreole: A (very) basic wikicreole parser.

There are a few shortcomings of this parser and I wouldn't trust it to a site where untrusted users can edit pages.

Shortcomings:

• In-line wikifree zones don't work. the pre tag gets applied, but any double stars or slashes will get turned into bold or italics still.
• There is no user input checking, no escaping of < or > so that has to be done elsewhere.
• Tildes for escaping doesn't work
• Unmarked links don't get href'd

Bonuses:

• Appears to be a speed bonus
• Simpler to customize
• Allows for specifying what goes in the pre blocks for use in javascript coloring

Speed Results: These are the results of running 100 times on this wikicreole test case.

I know that markdown isn't designed to parse wikicreole, but they have a few things in common, and I think the test gives a usable result. I ran the test on the largest file from this archive and it gave roughly the same (percentage) results.
