Thank-you for the thoughtful response.

Yes, clearly the markdown thing is natural for developers. After all devs spend all their time in cryptic text files that get transformed into something more useful and beautiful That's their (our) thing.

And since developers are the ones who create forum software, blogging platforms, one can only expect that their personal preferences would bleed over into these projects.

But it's unfortunate because in the meantime we're not really advancing the art of editing content, which is something the "normals" would appreciate. (And I think even a number of developer-types would appreciate writing content without markdown if you gave them something that actually worked and worked with static site generators.)

Regarding IA, I don't have it but it says that it saves files as plain text?

let me try again.

if you have _specifics_ on "the art of editing content", and the interface you want, i would like to hear them...
