-Download the [WMD source](http://wmd-editor.com/downloads/wmd-1.0.1.zip).  In that zip file you'll
-find a few example html files, a readme and `wmd` directory.  Move the `wmd` directory into the
-ikiwiki `underlays` directory.  You should now have an `underlays/wmd/wmd.js` file as well as 
-some other javascript files and an images directory in the same place.
