Add a simple formatting engine for testcase data using Text::Markdown. Normal HTML is passed through the filter unchanged, but now paragraphs will automatically be tagged with <p> and lists will automatically be converted to the proper html. A formatting help pane provides a description. The formatter is triggered with the 'markdown' filter in templates (e.g. [% expectedResults | markdown | testdata %].

The formatter works in addition to standard HTML, which means that you can still use normal HTML tags instead of, or in addition to, Markdown formatting. While you can read <a href="http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/basics">a complete description of Markdown\'s syntax</a>, the basic tips below should cover most common needs:</p><ul><li><b>Paragraphs:</b> Creating new paragraphs is easy. Just leave a blank line between each paragraph, and Litmus will add the &lt;p&gt; tags for you. Any special characters you use will automatically be escaped.</li><li><b>Lists:</b> To create a <b>bulleted list</b>, add asterisks before each item:<br>  * First item<br>  * Second item<br>To create a <b>numbered list</b>, just put numbers before each item:<br>  1. First item<br>  2. Second item<br>Litmus will automatically generate the proper html for the list display.</li><li><b>Links:</b> Creating links is easy too. You can use traditional &lt;a href=""&gt; formatting, or the simplified syntax: [link text](http://the.url.com). Or you can use the really simple syntax: &lt;the.url.com&gt;.</li><li><b>Text Formatting:</b> Simple text formatting, such as bold and italics, can be done with html tags, or as follows:<br><b>Italics:</b> *text*<br><b>Bold:</b> **text**</li></ul>';
