Data Translators

 * would match (whether the translator should run on all  *
 * files, no files, in files with the specified           *
 * extensions, or in files matching the specified         *
 * expressions).                                          *

*********************************************************************
*****

* The translateMarkup() function performs the actual translation.         

*

* In this translator, the translateMarkup() function is written           

*

* entirely in JavaScript (that is, it does not rely on a C library) --    

*

* and it's also extremely inefficient. It's a simple example, however,    

*

* which is good for learning.                                             *
