Markdown is a text based markup language, which provides a quick way of editing posts as readable plain text, but have them simply rendered into formatted HTML.
I routinely use Markdown to create posts on this blog, and also use it to create readme files for github plugins. I thought it’d be handy if long form posts on Known could also have this functionality, so I wrote a very quick plugin that adds it.
Hope this will be useful!

Great ! When will it be merged ?
This is a plugin, so you can use it straight away. I don’t think that there are any plans to support markdown natively, I think they prefer to do things via the WYSIWYG editor.
Markdown for Known
How could I really start to use Known without markdown availability?Thanks to Markus Povey
