MARKMIN() is for converting markmin syntax to HTML -- doesn't seem relevant 
here.

Are you saying you want someone to be able to copy text from a website and 
paste it into a textarea and preserve all of the formatting? I'm not sure 
if that's generally possible, but you would probably need to be using a 
special web editor like CKEditor (I know it can handle pasting rich text 
from Microsoft Word -- if copying from an arbitrary web page, it will 
probably preserve some formatting, but likely not every styling detail).
