Add a markdown editor to Confluence

Yo guys!

Sorry to say thous hard words, but: Your editor sucks! No really, I like the concept of confluence, I like the way it is connected to JIRA and step for step every bit of our documentation is moving to confluence.

BUT!

Writing an article, especially a technically one with a lot of code snippets, sucks! How can I write several lines of monospaces code?

Look here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2721576/demo.mov

Or even worse, just try to make a list and get the spaces right ... everytime!

The best thing you've done recently to improve the editing experience in confluence is the new Page Layouts feature. I think the reason why it's so awesome, is that you can always predict what's going on, because it is clearly visible.

It's like the editor im using right now here in JIRA: If I wanna write some monospace I just put some of these brackets {} here and they are clearly visible until I hit the blue (preview) button down there.

This is predictable behaviour and this is why writing markdown is getting so much attention right now: Predictability instead of Microsoft Word.

So please Atlassian, add the best markdown editor of all times to Confluence and make you product score in its core discipline!

Thanks, Markus
