Just a suggestion:  rather than have a bunch of global variables, why
not put these in a dictionary and pass it around?  That neatly solves
the globals problem and makes your program a bit tidier:


flags = {
    'anchor': 0,
    'bold': 0,
    'italic': 0,
    'underscore': 0,
}


def htmlize(thing, flags):
    [...]
        if exists(thing, "'''"):
            if flags['bold']:
                thing = string.replace(thing, "'''", "<B>")
            else:
                thing = string.replace(thing, "'''", "</B>"
            flags['bold'] = not flags['bold'] 
    [...]
