I'd like to see it included, as well!
I'd like it too, it will be easier for beginnes (like me!).

Why markdown and not one of the dozens of other wiki syntaxes?
I don't find wiki syntaxes really easy. Maybe a bit easier to type
than HTML but definitely not easy to read or remember, especially
since there are dozens of slightly (and not so slightly) different
variants.
Note there are JavaScript hacks for interpreting random wiki syntax
so
you can have markdown interpreted without any direct support in
fossil.
Thanks
Michal

Nice things are starting to heat up :-) let me throw some oil on the
fire.
I don't find any wiki syntaxes to be what you need. At one point they
all fall short.
However writing html isn't my favourite therapy and there a wiki syntax
can be handy.
I'm quite pleased as a wiki "language" takes 80% of my hands.
The advantage of this particular implementation is that it is C coded
and that the license is compatible with fossil.
And with Nataschsa's extension it becomes workable.
I rather write
------------------------------------------------
\
figure 5
------------------------------------------------
{on a side note I would prefer this
\
because a pure markdown implementation would still get the
link right only the description
is strange. and in The above example a pure markdown will
not get the link right}
then
<center><table border=1 cellpadding=10 hspace=10 vspace=10>
<tr><td align="center">
<img src="branch05.gif" width=485 height=177><br>
Figure 5
</td></tr></table></center>
But this could have been written like
<table class="table_centered_image"><tr><td><img src="branch05.gif"
width=485 eight=177><br> Figure
5</td></tr></table>
or maybe like
<div class="centered_image"> <img src="branch05.gif" width=485
eight=177><br>Figure 5</div>
in general tag languages can get rather verbose!
But still the Markdown version ( and most wiki's), IMHO, is, slightly,
better readable.
Your suggestion to use javascript to display wiki markup is possible.
and interesting
what do we do with the javascript library?
it is not part of your project which will deliver fantastic software
without markdown.
So is it part of fossil?
If you clone the repo than you want the same kind of services as the
original.
How can that be done in a consistent manor?
It gives me a headache to think that out.
Of course you don't want MarkDown but you want MarkUp. Stephen will say
that you have to resort to JSON.
maybe that is the right answer.
On his site http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/ the markdown
inventor says
"The idea is that a Markdown-formatted document should be
publishable as-is, as plain text,
without looking like it’s been marked up with tags or formatting
instructions."
I think it looks awkward any way.
