Thank you! Lovely on the first creation of a post, but not great if you go in afterward
to edit since it converts your markdown to HTML and doesn’t do a great job of converting
it back to markdown to edit again. No, the star review doesn’t make any sense, but
apparently you’re not allowed to give low star reviews!

If you have non-technical users that can get into a muddle with HTML editing this
is a great solution. In the article editing screen – click the PrettyPress button
and the screen is transformed with a markdown editor and preview alongside. Great
work! Maybe it could do with a simple Markdown reference as a popup. Note that if
you use the WordPress image alignment controls to send the image to the left or 
right – making an edit with PrettyPress removes that formatting.
