Initial Description
Simply make sure you have `Markdown.pl` (from Daring Fireball) inside of your application bundle's resources folder. Perl has to be installed on the target machine. If you are developing for iOS, you should build Perl for iOS, pack it with the application and change the `markdownTask`'s launch path.
