Hi John,
I'd like to respond to this: /"IMHO markdown is useless for
non-technical customers"/. How do you get this impression?
Markdown was purposely created for non-technical people to give them a
mark-up language:
1. that did not have all the features that HTML had (making it far less
complicated).
2. that still as transparent as HTML in terms the way that mark-up is
translated to a web-page.
3. did not have the unpredictable layout/styling behaviour caused by
WYSIWYG editors.
In essence it lets the author focus on content, instead of layout &
styling (which is defined by a designer).
You need to educate people on why it is better than WYSIWYG's (like
TinyMCE), preferably by example.
I you disagree, please let me know.
kind regards,
Sanne

HtmlArea did’t work out, because unfortunately writing a cross browser editor
is a major project on it’s own (esp including IE6 support, which was a
requirement at the time) - integrations with other third party editors are the
way to go, e.g. TinyMCE and CKEditor. There are contribs for at least CKEditor
if not TinyMCE.
IMHO markdown is useless for non-technical customers, I certainly don’t have
any that would see it as an upgrade from TinyMCE.
