Re: [Python-markdown-discuss] Python-markdown extension API

Hendra,

Take a look at the wikilinks extension [1]. It makes extensive use of
configs. Note that some defaults are set first (line 95) in a dict.
Then the user provided settings are forced to a dict (line 101)
(`dict()` will convert a list of tuples to a dict or if passed a dict,
will simply return it). Finally, the settings are iterated over (line
103), overriding the already set defaults (104).

So, to answer your question, either a list of tuples or a dict can be
passed in as settings. Either way, it will be stored as a dict if you
use the config methods on the `markdown.extensions.Extension` class.
Of course, as you are subclassing, you can override config handling if
you want to make it work however you would like.

Hope that helps.
