Customizing link markdown like Github does with usernames

[GoogleCodeExporter]

hi, I'd like to have usernames linked as Github does with their markdown (i.e., 
the usernames indicated with "@"). The following code should do it, but not [at 
line 211 in the 
converter.js](https://github.com/ujifgc/pagedown/blob/master/Markdown.Converter.
js#L211), which is where I've tested it.

            var text="hello @ujifgc thanks for making this pagedown plugin";
            var find = '@(.*?) ';
            var re = new RegExp(find, 'g');
            text = text.replace(re, '[@$1](http://your-site.com/$1) ');

Any clue how to make this work?
