I'm not used to such "complex" constructs, but well, I can work with it.

Do you know what a Wiki is? I have some user text with abstract text
formations e.g. __underlined__ 
These should be processed into HTML <u>underlined</u> 

There are some more rules.
''italic''                                  -> <i>italic</i>
**bold**                              -> <b>bold</b>
[word]                                  -> <a href="word">word</a>
[image.gif]                           -> <img src="image.gif" />
[http://google.com|Google] -> <a href="http://google.com>Google</a> 
http://slashdot.org               -> <a
href="http://slashdot.org">http://slashdot.org</a>

If this gets more and more, i thought a dictionary would be the best way
to define it in a obvious way. So this dict needs to be fed to the re
module, but instead of processing each item, i wanted to re.compile it
in one piece.
