Emoticon Extension for python-markdown
======================================

Converts defined emoticon symbols to images, with the symbols as their ``alt``
text. Requires python-markdown 1.6+.

Basic usage:

    >>> import markdown
    >>> text = 'Some text with a pre-defined emoticon :p.'
    >>> markdown.markdown(text, ['emoticons'])
    '\\n<p>Some text with a pre-defined emoticon <img src="tongue.gif" alt=":p"/>.\\n</p>\\n\\n\\n'

Simple custom settings:

    >>> md = markdown.markdown(text,
    ...     ['emoticons(BASE_URL=/emoticons/,FILE_EXTENSION=jpg)']
    ... )
    >>> md
    '\\n<p>Some text with a pre-defined emoticon <img src="/emoticons/tongue.jpg" alt=":p"/>.\\n</p>\\n\\n\\n'

Complex custom settings:

    >>> md = markdown.Markdown(text,
    ...     extensions=['emoticons'],
    ...     extension_configs={'emoticons': [
    ...             ('EMOTICONS', {':p': 'cheeky'}),
    ...             ('BASE_URL', 'http://supoib-emoticons.com/'),
    ...             ('FILE_EXTENSION', 'png'),
    ...         ]})
    >>> md.toString()
    '\\n<p>Some text with a pre-defined emoticon <img src="http://supoib-emoticons.com/cheeky.png" alt=":p"/>.\\n</p>\\n\\n\\n'
