Markdown parser in Javascript

Question

Does anyone know a markdown parser in Javascript ?

PS : Actually, I do this with request to server to parse it, but a client side parser would be better :) .

Edit : If there is no one, I will use HTML (with WYSIWYG editor).

Btw *Showdown* is the first hit if you google for `javascript markdown`. — Felix Kling, Jul 31 '10 at 17:23

No, I would like use it in my website. I would like a javascript function "markdown(text)" whitch return the parsed text. (But Thanks for the answer, I will read his source code). – Dorian Jul 31 '10 at 17:23
@Dorian: It is meant to download the source code and use it in your own site: *Showdown is a JavaScript port of the original Perl version of Markdown. You can get the full source code by clicking on the version number at the bottom of the page.* And in the corner: *Download Showdown v0.9* – Felix Kling Jul 31 '10 at 17:25
@Dorian: No hard feelings ;) You're welcome. – Felix Kling Jul 31 '10 at 17:31
