Markdown editing in Etherpad

Features

Use the normal editbar buttons to add markdown.
Import as Markdown (automatically applies styling / text attributes).
Export as Markdown.
Localizations.

Usage

To enable Markdown view click Settings -> Markdown

Limitations

This plugin is not designed for you to write Markdown and it format that markdown with styling. So you can't expect to type **blah** and expect to see blah in bold. You can however type blah, set it as bold and then click "Show as Markdown" and it will show **bold**. I will not be adding support for supporting typing in markdown which will render to a style because it will be impossible to handle character control.

Setting as default

Paste the below into your settings.

"ep_markdown_default": true,

Todo

Support ALL styles fully (please let me know what does / doesn't work)
Create markdown icon for export menu
Better code block support (currently it's line by line)
Import Markdown (and it applies formatting automatically)

Requirements

Etherpad 1.8.1
