ok, here's the rub;
I am writing a wiki. A wiki stores the body of a page in a flat text 
file. NO HTML. The markup ciode is a simplistic set, Alas, some of them 
use the SAME symbol series to turn a feature on, or off- it is a toggle.

SOME functions use the SAME tags to turn a function ON or OFF- it is a 
toggle.

For instance:
'''bold''' text -   BOLD is printed BOLD, appears in output as
<b>bold</b> text
''italic'' text - italic is printed in italics, as
<i>italic</i> text

Doing this with string.replace is just not cutting the mustard. Any advice?
