Starting with this commit, there should be no "original" text in READMEs. Instead, the entire text should be in docstrings, and READMEs should be automatically generated from these docstrings. Motivation: * The same help is available both via IRC and in the README (although the README can be more detailed, as only the first paragraph will be shown on IRC) * This will allow auto-generating plugin help on docs.limnoria.net using the same content as the README, as it's sourced from the docstrings Additionally, this converts all READMEs from Markdown to ReST, because the documentation already uses ReST, and other docstrings in the codebase are in ReST for this reason.

- encode <encoding> <text>
-
Returns an encoded form of the given text; the valid encodings are available in the documentation of the Python codecs module: <http://docs.python.org/library/codecs.html#standard-encodings>.
- len <text>
-
Returns the length of <text>.
- levenshtein <string1> <string2>
-
Returns the levenshtein distance (also known as the "edit distance" between <string1> and <string2>)
- md5 <text>
-
Returns the md5 hash of a given string.
- ord <letter>
-
Returns the unicode codepoint of <letter>.
- re <regexp> <text>
-
If <regexp> is of the form m/regexp/flags, returns the portion of <text> that matches the regexp. If <regexp> is of the form s/regexp/replacement/flags, returns the result of applying such a regexp to <text>.
- sha <text>
-
Returns the SHA1 hash of a given string.
- soundex <string> [<length>]
-
Returns the Soundex hash to a given length. The length defaults to 4, since that's the standard length for a soundex hash. For unlimited length, use 0. Maximum length 1024.
