Markdown tables in Plone 5.2

That is currently also the main problem for integrating a good markdown editor to be used within Plone.

I made a markdown editor some years ago, and I would say that python markdown is very nice. I managed to do much more than js markdown (etc).

It is mostly used by myself, so I ended up with some workarounds that are not perfect, but as a UI it is very good ( I think). It has live preview (updated when you hit enter) and saves to a rich text field (so it might use more resources than necessary).

I could not get the add-on to work with 5.2 (due to markdown extensions not working properly), but with the update to 5.2.2 it should work again.

PS: I dont think anyone else (than me) has been using it so there are there might be some requirements (mathjax / font-awesome etc) that are not set as required.

Markdown editor

With the theme editor being ACE (?): Would it be possible to get something like the markdown editor here: http://ace.jeka.by/wysiwyg.html working with Rich text fields (when set to markdown instead of html)? ... I will give it a go if I get some pointers (could I make it a pattern?)
