`margin-bottom: 20px !important;` is a lot of margin to put on all our lists
including during regular display. It seems unnecessary to fix the issue too
(at least in Firefox)
`<pre>` needs more styling for preview to match regular rendering.
Tabbing when in a list moves cursor to pos 4, but not 4 spaces (since "* " is
in there). This likely is a bug within SimpleMDE what do you think? Might be
one we want to contribute a fix for, if possible.

** [tickets:#7897] Live syntax highlighting for markdown editing**
**Status:** in-progress
**Milestone:** unreleased
**Labels:** 42cc sf-8 ux sf-current
**Created:** Mon Jun 15, 2015 02:30 PM UTC by Dave Brondsema

An editor like https://github.com/lepture/editor which shows some Markdown
style rendering as you are editing (not full WYSIWYG though) could be very
helpful. Demo at http://lab.lepture.com/editor/
We should figure out how to change the help & preview buttons to use our help &
preview URLs. However I don't think we should try to customize the syntax
highlighting for our customizations (e.g. `~~~~`, artifact links, etc) yet.
Can be a followup ticket.
I like this because it doesn't attempt to do a full WYSIWYG exact render, so we
don't have to worry about some of our customizations. Yet it does do enough
formatting that people will notice if they unintentionally cause formatting
with a `_` or a `*`. And it even helps with the sneaky gotcha of a bullet list
without a preceding blank line (it doesn't work, it is rendered as italics)
(This idea came from discussion on [#6822])
