### Markdown Usage
All you have to do is use the `@` and `#` signs like you normally would in a tweet.
#### Basic Examples:
Put the code in there. Watch the HTML spew out.
```html
You can now mention twitter people like @james2doyle or even use hash tags like #philecms.
Output:
<p>You can now mention twitter people like <a target="_blank" class="twitter-link" title="@james2doyle" href="http://twitter.com/james2doyle">@james2doyle</a> or even use hash tags like <a target="_blank" class="twitter-link" title="#philecms" href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23philecms&src=hash">#philecms</a>.</p>
Here are the settings. See the above output for where everything goes.
'class' => 'twitter-link', // class to apply to the a tag, false is off
'target' => '_blank', // target for the a tag, false is off
'title' => true, // show a title on the a tag, false is off
Clients are crazy. You want to make sure the HTML output is good and not a huge mess. It is a pretty good selling point for some people too. Doing things automagically
always is.
