Add Markdown support #30
Description
At the moment the editor only supports WYSIWYG and HTML text entry and for simple pages that is fine, especially when you can create custom styles if you need a couple more predefined text formatting options but this is bound to get increasingly tiresome if the author's requirements go beyond just a couple of edge cases.
This had been mentioned in the past on the forums but things didn't progress at all.
Of course, this task could be performed elsewhere and then one could just paste the resulting HTML but, why not directly integrate this step into the workflow?
My initial proposal would be to have some sort of option in the editor panel that toggles the Markdown mode. Markdown would feed into the HTML which would then feed into the text preview.
If you guys think this is a feature you could use upstream, I'm very much willing to go away and implement it myself.
