Wow, nine levels of indentation. I think this parser code can be
simplified a lot. What I would do is split the comment at line breaks
and iterate over single lines (means we don't need special handling for
the "```" at the end of a comment as well).

We also should be able to replace links and inline code with simple
preg_replace() or preg_replace_callback() invocations, right?
