Bug Description

Markdown is a really nice alternative to a WYSIWYG editor - it would be nice to have as a user-selectable alternative to the WYSIWYG editor in Mahara.

Project page is http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/

It does require Perl so I think, if it is offered, it should be a site option.

markdown is available for Debian and presumably Ubuntu, or as a standalone perl script, and it spits XHTML/HTML out the other end.

Markdown has not come up in conversations with people. I think the vast majority of people are more comfortable with a WYSIWYG editor than learning markdown.
