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 You can see a demo here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2690345/pagedown-bootstrap-demo/demo...

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?

Looks promising! Might be an interesting additional editor candidate in Create ( http://createjs.org/ ). Though, Create is MIT and the wysihtml5 library used by this is GPL, so the licenses are not compatible. Currently we use Hallo ( http://bergie.github.com/hallo/ ) by default, and Aloha Editor ( http://aloha-editor.org/ ) with bundled integration.

Aloha is AGPL though, it seems they do license exceptions for BSD projects, is that what you have?

Yep, we have an exception from them. But still, we only ship an integration plugin and Aloha Editor has to be installed separately. This way the whole Create repo is MIT-only.

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

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/...)

You really mustn't give me much credit for it, the guys here did the hard part: http://code.google.com/p/pagedown/

Nice presentation and looks to have real promise, but the source output looks just as bad as WordPress (unless it is just the Developer Tools). I see spans with inline CSS, empty divs and br's all over the place. It doesn't look very clean but if I am wrong please correct me.

Also, for practical use it needs indent controls for lists and there is a need to deal with links.
