Markdown-Support

[DrAzraelTod]

It would be really nice if etherpad would support Collaborative Markdown-Editing, similar to one of the following:

• dillinger.io
• Showdown
• joncom.be experiment

I don't think this can be easily done IN etherpad, but as a webservice AROUND etherpad.

Markdown export would be worth considering, imo

Please elaborate on how you want it to work, weather you want it to be like on github where you click preview or if you want markdown export or yada yada.. Thanks :)

[marcelklehr]

You write something, you add attributes like bold and underlined,
you export it as markdown and get a markdown file with markdown in it.

So basically a Mark Down Export, that'd actually be kinda easy to do (maybe an hour or so work) assuming you wanted really basic mark down functionality. See getHTML and #1523 as a reference point for how to accomplish this however I'd be keen to see it as a plugin but I could live with it if it went into core after we release 1.3

Real time Markdown editing and Markdown export now available in ep_markdown. Enjoy!
