Nice tutorial, but seems like it would be much easier (and more user friendly) to concert to markdown instead of using his pseudo-tags for HTML. The only thing perhaps you'd need to handle differently than native Markdown is significant whitespace, but that seems like it would just need some minimal changes.

I completely agree, this would be suited so well for Markdown! Funnily enough I have been wanting to add this feature into a knowledge management app [1] I've been building. There have been so many times where our users have written something on paper and want to save it digitally to work on and organise later.
