/**
Discourse uses the Markdown.js as its main parser. `Discourse.Dialect` is the framework
for extending it with additional formatting.
To extend the dialect, you can register a handler, and you will receive an `event` object
with a handle to the markdown `Dialect` from Markdown.js that we are defining. Here's
a sample dialect that replaces all occurances of "evil trout" with a link that says
"EVIL TROUT IS AWESOME":
```javascript
Discourse.Dialect.on("register", function(event) {
var dialect = event.dialect;
// To see how this works, review one of our samples or the Markdown.js code:
dialect.inline["evil trout"] = function(text) {
return ["evil trout".length, ['a', {href: "http://eviltrout.com"}, "EVIL TROUT IS AWESOME"] ];
};
});
```
You can also manipulate the JsonML tree that is produced by the parser before it converted to HTML.
This is useful if the markup you want needs a certain structure of HTML elements. Rather than
writing regular expressions to match HTML, consider parsing the tree instead! We use this for
making sure a onebox is on one line, as an example.
This example changes the content of any `<code>` tags.
The `event.path` attribute contains the current path to the node.
```javascript
Discourse.Dialect.on("parseNode", function(event) {
var node = event.node,
path = event.path;
if (node[0] === 'code') {
node[node.length-1] = "EVIL TROUT HACKED YOUR CODE";
}
});
```
