-- Define Markdown Mode
--
-- Markdown Mode allows you to perform common Markdown-formatting tasks anywhere
-- that you're editing text. Use Control+m to turn on Markdown mode. Then, use
-- any shortcut below to perform a formatting action. For example, to format the
-- selected text as bold in Markdown, hit Control+m, and then b.
--
--   b => wrap the selected text in double asterisks ("b" for "bold")
--   c => wrap the selected text in backticks ("c" for "code")
--   i => wrap the selected text in single asterisks ("i" for "italic")
--   s => wrap the selected text in double tildes ("s" for "strikethrough")
--   l => convert the currently-selected text to an inline link, using a URL
--        from the clipboard ("l" for "link")
