It looks like the beginning of a very nice project! I had a similar itch to scratch a few weeks ago when I wanted a nice simple editor for a project and modified the pagedown editor (the markdown editor from stackoverflow) to use bootstrap. Its here: https://github.com/samwillis/pagedown-bootstrap https://github.com/samwillis/pagedown-bootstrap You can see a demo here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2690345/pagedown-bootstrap-demo/demo/browser/demo.html http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2690345/pagedown-bootstrap-demo/demo...

awesome! I'd personally much prefer to use markdown for my projects but unfortunately I'm not targeting developers :/

  I'm in the same situation. Got a hobby writing app slapped together that has a built in Markdown converter. I want normal people to use it but the idea is to focus on the writing, not the formatting so there's no buttons for WYSIWYG editing. I think I'm the right context Markdown only would work. In my situation I'm probably just going to throw up a short intro to Markdown tutorial for people who want to format their writing. It's okay in my case because the focus should be on words, not formatting and I have a hunch regular folks can learn Markdown within 20 minutes at most for the most part.

This is awesome. I was using tinymce but will switch to yours. Is there an easy way for allowing image upload as opposed to external link?

  You would need to fork it and edit Markdown.Editor.js to change the dialogue to include the upload logic. Somewhere around line 1023 (https://github.com/samwillis/pagedown-bootstrap/blob/master/Markdown.Editor.js#L1023 https://github.com/samwillis/pagedown-bootstrap/blob/master/...) You really mustn't give me much credit for it, the guys here did the hard part: http://code.google.com/p/pagedown/ http://code.google.com/p/pagedown/

I'm using the ace editor (highly recc'ed) and have been looking at HTML->(markdown|plaintext) issues. Thanks for this.
