The Sarcasm extension implements parsing for the <sarcasm> tags indicate when text is intended to be sarcastic. The goal is to make sarcasm through text more identifiable, which is often problematic due to the lack of non verbal communication that would normally indicate sarcasm that can result in action taken against users for incivility because their actions were misinterpreted. This extension will also hopefully facilitate wiki communities and good humor by encouraging jokes and sarcasm.
