Custom Markdown for PHP handling new lines

Question

Hello World,

I need custom Markdown library for PHP which converts new lines to <br/> without the need to put double space on the end of the line, kinda like here on SO. I've been looking on the web but without success. I know I could just amend standard library but my regex skills are none.

Does anybody know about such library in existence or know how to change default behaviour easily?

Many thanks

EDIT: Dumb me, SO does not work this way, it appears to be standard Markdown behaviour. However such functionality is being used on github.com.

One way is to use Text_Wiki, enabling the newline rule. I suspect other wiki parsers have this feature, maybe just not enabled by default.
