May I improve forum to support markdown?
The forum is actually an interface to a newsgroup, so most
forms of markdown would not be supported in the interest of
having a consistent UI for people who use mail / newsgroup
clients vs people who use the online web interface.
Well, we can serve html in newsgroup/emails, or as plain text
with striped markdown's markup
For example user writes "hello, **people**", on online interface
its "hello, <strong>people</strong>", in plain text format (for
people who dislike html) it's: "hello, people". I don'y think we
should give markdown as plain text, or we should limit features,
for example only titles, code blocks, horisontal line, links.
Everything is still same, but code snippets and links looks nice
on web ui.
How you think?
