I have grown to love markdown in the past year. It is just expressive enough without being burdensomely complex. I appreciate the ability to switch between WYSIWYG and plain text editing modes to achieve precision. In contrast to pure-WYSIWYG editors like Google Docs, the formatting can’t get totally hosed in markdown because you can always dip under the hood and fix stuff.

I just wish every rich text editor had accessible markdown…



Microsoft Word having a Markdown mode would be _huge_.

If I were still using it regularly I'd put one together using WordBASIC/VBAscript.
