Thanks for the update. I've updated the link.

A few thinks. I notice that you keep referring to "Python-Markdown 2".
You may not be aware that there is a second unrelated project called
"Markdown2", so you might want to change your documentation to refer
to "Python-Markdown v2.0" (or perhaps "v2.x") to keep it more clear.

Second, I couldn't help but notice that you are converting all
documents to acsii before passing them to Markdown. Why? Markdown is
fully Unicode aware (and actually uses Unicode internally). I would
expect that you would want to be converting to Unicode from whatever
encoding the user's files are in. If you look at our tests, we have
entire documents in Russian and Arabic that run through Markdown
without issue. Why limit yourself to only English users?

Regardless, it great to see others benefiting from our project.
