Description

Just had to replace some wrong capitalization in documents in the following pattern:
- "MakeUP" -> "Makeup"
- "makeup" -> "makeup" (string in URLs and code should not change)

It would be just great to have case-sensitive replacement in Macdown for such cases. E.g., sublime text has it.
