Support markdown for formatting all input
The website currently uses a rich text to format all content on the website. This can be convenient for some but it can be frustrating and slow to work with. Markdown is easy to write and understand (https://www.markdownguide.org/). It has become a common option on many websites. Please consider supporting markdown as an option and let users specify it as their default preference so that they can use it without having to select it each time they want to post an activity/comment/etc.

Hello Josh -
I wanted to follow up on this request. For times where we want users to be able to use formatting, we use RichText fields. While I am sure many users would be familiar with markdown, most probably would not so if we were going to help allow additional formatting we would want to go a route that is easy to use for all members. That said, I am going to close this idea but keep the carpool idea open for now as I do see benefit in making this field more adaptable.
