I see from #362, #363 and #410 that a lot of effort was put into Markdown support. And #379 demonstrates that the fields have to be scrubbed anyhow. So, I am wondering if it is possible allow/configure HTML in all the applicable fields.

Without getting into it, I use HTML, Textile and Markdown (and various wiki syntaxes) habitually, but hardly anyone else I know does. All my cool friends know how to create an anchor element in HTML, though.

Of course white-listing elements is probably useful. I imagine that this could be configured with overrides, but it is fairly simple to find a reasonable default set of elements to allow.

Thoughts?

Riding on top of #689, it took me a while to figure out that Markdown could be used (after HTML and Textile, I ended up figuring it out from looking at closed issues). I don't have any particular suggestion, but maybe an info box on the side or the footer could indicate what can be used to format their text.

Chris, or whoever, may I get the appropriate role to use the wiki for this project?

I am keeping a list at http://interi.org/complex/mediagoblin, but I would like to expand on each of those items in turn, and use Redmine to easily link to them. It would be solely for elaborating complex mutli-issue ideas; I am aware of the normal wiki.
