Ooopss... my apologies!

I certainly don't know enough about filters but at least for Textile and 
Markdown, it appears that you can only pick one or the other.  I love 
Textile and certainly don't want to repeat the work for rendering 
everything else.  I only need something that DRYs up the typing of URLs 
when writing up the text.  (At first, I thought you meant something like 
an after or before filter and that made some sense in my head).  I think 
it may be easiest for me to start by looking at the Sass filter and/ or 
just sticking with an extension for now (now = after I write it).

Thanks again, Sean!
