Export to Markdown isn't functioning correctly #11

Open isislovecruft opened 9 years ago

The file exported contains an odd LaTeX-like version of the initial Etherpad text for a newly-created document:

Welcome to Etherpad!

This pad text is synchronized as you type, so that everyone viewing this page sees the same text. This allows you to \
collaborate seamlessly on documents!

This version of Etherpad includes the following plugins: ep\_align ep\_author\_neat ep\_comments\_page ep\_font\_colo\
r ep\_font\_family ep\_font\_size ep\_headings2 ep\_markdown ep\_page\_view ep\_print ep\_spellcheck ep\_sticky\_attr\
ibutes ep\_subscript\_and\_superscript

For what it's worth, the documents which I was attempting to export all contained basic, minimal elements of Markdown syntax, e.g. using square-brackets followed by parentheses for links, and # symbols for headings.

This is most likely a bug in the upstream "ep_markdown" plugin: https://github.com/JohnMcLear/ep_markdown

Note that the idea is that you edit as rich-text, then export to Markdown, which is kind of backwards from how Markdown is normally used. Honestly I'm considering removing the plugin from our default set as I don't think it's what people actually want. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.
