Differences with standard Markdown

The main differences of ocaml-markdown dialect with the markdown standard are:

• {{ and }} are used to surround code blocks
• Leading ! are used for headings, the count defines the heading level
• # are used for ordered list

For example the following Markdown text:

# Heading 1

    let f x y = x + y

Heading 2
---------

1. first element
2. second element

This text should be written the following way:

! Heading 1

{{
let f x y = x + y
}}

!! Heading 2

# first element
# second element
