+NL2BR Extension
+===============
+
+A Python-Markdown extension to treat newlines as hard breaks; like
+StackOverflow and [GitHub][] flavored Markdown do.
+
+Usage:
+
+    >>> import markdown
+    >>> text = """
+    ... Line 1
+    ... Line 2
+    ... """
+    >>> html = markdown.markdown(text, extensions=['nl2br'])
+    >>> print html
+    <p>Line 1<br />
+    Line 2</p>
