Sanitize markdown

The markdown output currently is not great where it needlessly escapes a lot of characters, for instance a . will become \.. Just putting this on the radar. When using the raw markdown somewhere else for instance when exporting, this is not great.

We've got an ongoing project in the serializer library to tackle this, https://github.com/tommoor/slate-md-serializer/commits/master/src/utils.js

We're definitely playing it safe right now – It's important that you could write something that looks exactly like markdown in the editor and it should be reproduced faithfully on reload. You can use an unescape method like this one on the output to clean it up:
