"""
This module contains a class derived from Python's HTMLParser to convert HTML to
Markdown. Currently this class only supports those HTML tags that have counter-
parts in BBCode used by stock phpBB 2.x.

In other words, this class was created to help convert data from a phpBB
forum to Markdown syntax and its scope is currently limited to that task.
