Hello list,
Is there any way I can replace the default WISIWYG editor with a simple
Markdown composition editor? I woouldn’t want this for everyone, but for
me, Markdown is far easier to deal with than the default editor. A few
others in my company may also prefer it, and I wouldn’t mind having the
option available to anyone who prefers it. Is this possible?

Under user preferences one can disable the WYSIWYG editor - and thus
use a regular textarea box.

I’ve switched my own account to use that simple editor, but does it already
handle Markdown syntax? If not, is there a plugin or setting to enable such
support?On Fri, Sep 9, 2016 at 10:20 AM, Matt Zagrabelny mzagrabe@d.umn.edu wrote:

It does not natively handle MD. A quick google did not yield any MD
extensions for RT.
It looks like there are JS MD editors - though I am not sure how much
effort it would take to make an extension that uses them. Perhaps just
a jquery call to change the textarea.

As long as I know it’s not built in and buried in settings somewhere, I
won’t pursue it. I’ll wait until things are working and I’m more
comfortable before trying to make a plugin. 
Thanks.On Fri, Sep 9, 2016 at 11:13 AM, Matt Zagrabelny mzagrabe@d.umn.edu wrote:

This is definitely a plugin that I would use… a lot.On Fri, Sep 9, 2016 at 11:29 AM, Alex Hall ahall@autodist.com wrote:

I agree that this would be a wonderful extension. I use markdown a lot with other web-based apps.

RT uses ckedit for its richtext editor so this should probably work:
Markdown | CKEditor.com
Be sure to read the documentation about making LOCAL modifications to RT.

I agree, builtin MD would be fantastic, you can totally drop that wysiwyg editor that is currently there.
