Love it. I'd like to see something like this with markdown capabilities.

I'd be happy with a Copy As Markdown function, or something like that. I don't really mind the rich text, since it's simpler to look at than multiple panes, but the end result of something like a draft blog post will end up as markdown for me. Having the markup converted would be nice.

Why? Is markdown so important for you to take some notes?

Markdown support means that I already know how to use it. I don't have to figure out what hotkey bolds text, underlines text, turns things into bullet points, etc.
How do I add links to this? Is it even possible? If it was markdown, I already know how to add a link, no extra thought required.

Why do I feel like it's strangely 1995 again?

I wish papier would support bbcode. Then I would know exactly how to bold text or add hyperlinks to other webpages on the world wide web (mostly angelfire websites).

Ya. My flashback is to 1988, painstakingly crafting manuals for my shareware.

I don't mind that this doesn't support markdown, or have super-specific instructions, or w/e. It's a fun bit of software, and I'm going to play around with it for a while :)
I'm just answering the question of "why would you want markdown support?"
