Sure. Let's make it as good as we can! 

I've created #823 and #824 (for the last point) on our side

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

**Status:** in-progress
**Milestone:** unreleased
**Labels:** 42cc sf-8 ux sf-current

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])
