Parse text as Markdown? #349

I usually type everything in markdown. If you were to do this with Kandan, I assume you could probably use some sort of Ruby library for parsing the text. I think it would be really cool, since you already have emoticons. This is really low priority, though. You people are doing so much more to make Kandan much better than it was when I got it :D. Its a truly amazing program.

You prefer markdown someone else prefer textile or other markup language.

Markdown is probably the most widespread and idiot-friendly out of all of them. Although you do raise a very good point. You're right, incorporating it as a standard feature would be unfair to those who use other markup styles. Could this possible be implemented through the "Highly extensible plugin format" that Kandan has?

githubs markup library comes to mind. This would allow to support more than one markup language.
