* The translateMarkup() function performs the actual translation. *
* In this translator, the translateMarkup() function is written *
* entirely in JavaScript (that is, it does not rely on a C library) -- *
* and it’s also extremely inefficient. It’s a simple example, however, *
* which is good for learning. *
