I've had a heck of a time finding a decent markdown editor to implement into my current project. I don't want it to spit out HTML, I want markdown. But I want a WYSIWYG editor, not just a bunch of markdown shortcut buttons. Any suggestions?

If you want a WYSIWG editor, why would the storage format matter?

I think your best bet is writing a HTML-to-markdown converter.

Well because I don't want to have to worry about trusting the html coming from the editor. I probably will have to go the converter route sigh.

If that's your concern then going for a HTML sanitizer is the better route. The language/framework you're using probably already has one.
