How is Markup builder different from Markup tools?
Markup tools is a small set of standalone utilities for basic text manipulation. However Markup builder allows you to actually build markup.
Markup builder's build functions use Markup tools to build all un-attached hashtags into hyperlinked tags, all un-attached mentions into hyperlinked mentions, as well as build all raw urls and image links into their respective tags.
In addition to this markup is also sanitized, and markdown is converted to HTML.
