GitHub Flavored Markdown Online Preview

Very nice. I really appreciate the dropdown formatting selector box. I use Textile in Basecamp and find myself intermixing/confusing it's formatting with Markdown because the two are CLOSE but not exact.

What exactly does this have to do with GitHub Flavored Markdown? Literally none of GitHub's extensions to Markdown[1] work in this editor... [1]: http://github.github.com/github-flavored-markdown/

The source code for the app is using the github-markdown[0] gem to render - so it seems strange that it isn't working.

Edit: Ah, heres the problem: https://github.com/github/markup/issues/47 - the github-markdown gem doesn't support github-flavored markdown, they must use a different gem or branch on the site
