Description

This request addresses https://community.vikunja.io/t/markdown-as-first-class-citizen/2975

Tiptap now offers bidirectional Markdown support https://tiptap.dev/docs/editor/markdown (@tiptap/markdown) and this can help solve all the issue for the discussion above without much pain and different editor.

I understand the reasoning for it being removed before and my suggestion now is if implemented to be optional feature in under General Settings. If you enable Markdown support you get bidirectional markdown preserving the syntax regardless if you edit it with a CalDAV client that expect markdown or the web editor. Both will be happy and able to render.

Brief summary of the current major issues

Senario 1 - Creating Description with the web UI editor (tiptap)

Workflow: Create a task in the WebUI -> Sync it with CalDAV / fetch from api (they expect markdown)

so this is beyond pasting raw markdown?

Always has been. I see pasting now works!
