Closed #804, #814. `ib/7897`

I needed to change editor code itself a bit, refer to `git show 2008f8d` for 
details. We probably shoud fork & contribute back to the editor, so it will be 
less painful to update editor in the future.

** [tickets:#7897] Live syntax highlighting for markdown editing**

**Status:** review
**Milestone:** unreleased

An editor like https://github.com/lepture/editor which shows some Markdown 
style rendering as you are editing (not full WYSIWYG though) could be very 
helpful.  Demo at http://lab.lepture.com/editor/

We should figure out how to change the help & preview buttons to use our help & 
preview URLs.  However I don't think we should try to customize the syntax 
highlighting for our customizations (e.g. `~~~~`, artifact links, etc) yet.  
Can be a followup ticket.

I like this because it doesn't attempt to do a full WYSIWYG exact render, so we 
don't have to worry about some of our customizations.  Yet it does do enough 
formatting that people will notice if they unintentionally cause formatting 
with a `_` or a `*`.  And it even helps with the sneaky gotcha of a bullet list 
without a preceding blank line (it doesn't work, it is rendered as italics) 

(This idea came from discussion on [#6822])
