Markdown has not come up in conversations with people. I think the vast
majority of people are more comfortable with a WYSIWYG editor than
learning markdown.

Title:
  Add markdown as an alternative to WYSIWYG

Status in Mahara:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  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.
