SUMMARY

I am using Zanshin Tasks to manage my private tasks. I tried there, to use markdown in the editor, and at least I can use the markdown syntax without a problem. However, the editor does not know anything about markdown, and it does not know how to render markdown in a nice looking way.

So I would like to have the following:

* Allow the usage of markdown syntax.
* Allow to configure that markdown syntax is used (a checkbox, default not selected).
* Add a tab / button / view when markdown syntax is allowed to switch from the editor to previewing markdown then.

That means that when someone is using that, and looks through his tasks (without the need to modify them), he would have the option (by selecting the tab preview instead of editor) to see his tasks in a nice HTML rendered way.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Switch the configuration to use markdown syntax then. 
2. An additional tab is added to the editor.
3. When selecting that tab, the markdown content is rendered to HTML there.
