I think this would be a nice feature and in my opinion integrates well with code/syntax highlighting.

surprised this is the first request for this!

truthfully, would love to see someone take this on if for no other reason than I would like to try it! :)

not sure how hard it would be...  have to see if good library that could be used or if a wp plugin was written robust enough to let other wp plugins tie into...

I used this one during my brief stint with bbpress, but it only seemed to work well when posting as admin. Other users had problems with it.

the biggest problem with a wp plugin is going to be the robustness of the api... that plugin looks like it explicitly targets posts, comments and bbpress...  so having an enough of an api that simple press could tie into could be a problem...  dont know without more work...  but have made a note of it...

A Markdown editor would be hugely appreciated!!!!

At a minimum, could the TinyMCE plugin be updated to 4.1.0? http://www.tinymce.com/develop.....;vr_id=869

 

This adds support for the textpattern TinyMCE plugin, which gives Markdown type functionality.

 

If, in fact, TinyMCE is already updated, then it breaks when I attempt to include textpattern.

regarding updating wp to tinymce 4.1, you would have to take that up with the wp devs...  we simply display the wp editor (tinymce) on the front end in the forum...  so we use whatever version of tinymce that is used in wp...
