Supporting Markdown in annotations

[xplosionmind]

What if by annotating something in an article I would like to refer to another one I read somewhere else?
What if I would like to use text formatting?
What if I would like to embed an image of which I have the URL already?

I believe implementing Markdown in annotations would be super useful to create connections, but also to provide the capability of formatting text and adding more stuff inside annotations.

Yeah, i think this is a good idea, markdown is great for public text formatting. Especially considering public sharing. In the case where I am sharing my annotations publicly (see an attached mockup), I think I would want a lot of control over the formatting of my annotations.

Done!
