* **smoothLivePreview:** fix weird effects due to parsing incomplete input ([62ba3733](http://github.com/showdownjs/showdown/commit/62ba3733))
* **subParsers/githubCodeBlock:** add extra language class to conform to html5 spec ([b7f5e32](http://github.com/showdownjs/showdown/commit/b7f5e32))
#### Bug Fixes
* **tables:**
* fix undefined error in malformed tables ([6176977](http://github.com/showdownjs/showdown/commit/6176977))
Cannot read property 'trim' of undefined happens when the parser is fed a malformed table.
This happens in live previews (for instance, when using Angularjs).
* add support for md span elements in table headers ([789dc18](http://github.com/showdownjs/showdown/commit/789dc18))
Closes #179
* **italicsAndBold:**
* fix broken em/strong tags when used with literalMidWordUnderscores ([7ee2017](http://github.com/showdownjs/showdown/commit/7ee2017))
When literalMidWordUnderscoresis set to true, em and strong tags that start or end a paragraph don't get parsed as such.
This fixes this issue.
Closes #174
* fix underscores not being correctly parsed when used in conjunction with literalMidWordsUnderscores option ([c9e85f1](http://github.com/showdownjs/showdown/commit/c9e85f1))
* **codeSpans:** Fix issue with code html tags not being correctly escaped ([5f043ca](http://github.com/showdownjs/showdown/commit/5f043ca))
* **images:** fix alt attribute not being escaped correctly ([542194e](http://github.com/showdownjs/showdown/commit/542194e))
This release moves some of the most popular extensions (such as table-extension and github-extension) to core.
Also introduces a simple cli tool that you can use to quickly convert markdown files into html.
#### Bug Fixes
* **headerLevelStart:** fix for NaN error when specifying a non number as headerLevelStart param ([be72b487](http://github.com/showdownjs/showdown/commit/be72b487))
* **converter.js:** add error if the passed constructor argument is not an object ([d86ed450](http://github.com/showdownjs/showdown/commit/d86ed450))
* **output modifiers:** fix for output modifiers running twice ([dcbdc61e](http://github.com/showdownjs/showdown/commit/dcbdc61e))
#### Features
* **headerLevelStart:** add support for setting the header starting level ([b84ac67d](http://github.com/showdownjs/showdown/commit/b84ac67d), closes [#69](http://github.com/showdownjs/showdown/issues/69))
* **image dimensions:** add support for setting image dimensions within markdown syntax ([af82c2b6](http://github.com/showdownjs/showdown/commit/af82c2b6), closes [#143](http://github.com/showdownjs/showdown/issues/143))
* **noHeaderId:** add option to suppress automatic generation of ids in headers ([7ac893e9](http://github.com/showdownjs/showdown/commit/7ac893e9))
* **showdown.getDefaultOptions:** add method to retrieve default global options keypairs ([2de53a7d](http://github.com/showdownjs/showdown/commit/2de53a7d))
#### Breaking Changes
* Deprecates `showdown.extensions` property. To migrate, extensions should use the new method `showdown.extension(<ext name>, <extension>)` to register.
For more information on the new extension loading mechanism, please check the wiki pages.
- add unique id prefix and suffix to headers ([c367a4b9](http://github.com/showdownjs/showdown/commit/c367a4b9), closes [#81](http://github.com/showdownjs/showdown/issues/81), [#82](http://github.com/showdownjs/showdown/issues/82))
* **options.omitExtraWLInCodeBlocks:** fix for options.omitExtraWLInCodeBlocks only applying in gitHub flavoured code b ([e6f40e19](http://github.com/showdownjs/showdown/commit/e6f40e19))
* **showdown:** fix for options merging into globalOptions ([ddd6011d](http://github.com/showdownjs/showdown/commit/ddd6011d), closes [#153](http://github.com/showdownjs/showdown/issues/153))
The system, however, is not final and will probably be changed until the final version([0fd10cb] (http://github.com/showdownjs/showdown/commit/0fd10cb))
* **allowBlockIndents:** indented inline block elements can now be parsed as markdown ([f6326b84](http://github.com/showdownjs/showdown/commit/f6326b84))
* **omitExtraWLInCodeBlocks:** add option to omit extra newline at the end of codeblocks ([141e3f5](http://github.com/showdownjs/showdown/commit/141e3f5))
* **prefixHeaderId:** add options to prefix header ids to prevent id clash ([141e3f5](http://github.com/showdownjs/showdown/commit/141e3f5))
* **extensions:** showdown extensions were removed from core package and now live in their own repository. See the [project's github page](https://github.com/showdownjs) for available extensions
