I love the site, however:
- It's just not the same without Markdown
- How am I supposed to get noticed?

We weren't willing to open the
MARKDOWN PANDORA'S BOX!!!!1!
in v1.
I am open to hearing opinions on this though.

3At least basic markdown for headers, bullets, and bold/italics. The problem with not having markdown is that it's impossible to format information. Oct 12, 2009 at 1:39

Jeff, but without bulleted lists and bold text, how will we make our answers.. err CVs stand out? Oct 12, 2009 at 17:13

I would like to express the HTML hr, b, p, i, li and basic linking functionalities. I want to be able to produce professional-looking product, essentially. :-) Oct 12, 2009 at 23:31

No kidding. Nothing like pasting links into "Projects and Links" only to find them displayed raw, with the ends (most relevant part!) cut off.
Don't need full-on embedded HTML support, don't even need the more complex parts of markdown... code, headers, lists and linking would go a long way.
@Jeff, In response to your post,
I don't see why you wouldn't allow markdown to let us at least approximate traditional CV formatting (headers, bold/italics, bullets, etc). But if "pandora's box" means abusive use of formatting(?)... if a user wants to make themselves look bad, that's their choice.
I haven't used the site, yet so I'm not sure I can speak intelligently about it. But what am I missing?

I would like it to just work. The same parsing code that's used on Stack Overflow should be used on Careers. I don't want to think about what works over here and what works over there.
I understand your hesitance to open Pandora's box with version 1. It might not be a bad idea to start out with the same restrictions you have on new users. I would be fine with that (for a while).
