[Bug 621153] [NEW] Add markdown as an alternative to WYSIWYG

 

Public bug reported:

Markdown is a really nice alternative to a WYSIWYG editor - it would be
nice to have as a user-selectable alternative to the WYSIWYG editor in
Mahara.

Project page is http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/

It does require Perl so I think, if it is offered, it should be a site
option.

markdown is available for Debian and presumably Ubuntu, or as a
standalone perl script, and it spits XHTML/HTML out the other end.
