Why doesn't Habr support markdown syntax?

Question

Habr

I would really like to use Markdown when creating articles and questions. To create lists like this:

1) элемент 1
2) элемент 2
3) элемент 3

instead of long

<ol>
<li> элемент 1</li>
<li> элемент 2</li>
<li> элемент 3</li>
</ol>

and write links in the form without suffering from the perverse
[вот такая вот ссылка](http://www.linksource.com)

<a href="http://www.linksource.com">вот такая вот ссылка</a>

Is it possible to somehow enable Markdown on Habré? And is it planned at all?
PS and there is already syntax highlighting in the source tag for Markdown

Answer 1

You can write in any editor that supports MD, and then convert to html, for Sublime Text 2 there are plugins for this.

Answer 2

That would be a normal coloring of the code. And html can be tolerated.

Answer 3

In order not to suffer with tags, I got myself a sheet with tags in gedit (“Notepad”). Copy-paste tags dramatically reduces the time it takes to write an html document.

Answer 4

Probably the fewer rules the better. And 2nd - you can add tags using the buttons above the input field. Even faster than copying. (For convenience, I expanded the number of tags with a userscript, but I prefer not to use list tags, because on the site they create additional indents in the text, and the text becomes less manageable. For example, I didn’t want indents on the left, but they appeared, and remove or cannot be added.)

1. element 1
2. element 2
3. element 3
