This not only simplifies testing, +but by using unicode_literals, results in more consistent behavior across +Python versions. Additionally, the relative imports (made possible in Python 2 +via absolute_import) allows the entire library to more easily be embedded in a +subdirectory of another project. The various files within the library will +still import each other properly even though 'markdown' may not be in Python's +root namespace. + +* Added the [Admonition Extension] which implements [rST-style][rST] +admonitions to the Markdown syntax.
