Best damn markdown plugin there is

This is without a doubt the best damn markdown plugin there is.

I like to use Semantic HTML and Markdown together and this allows me to use it right inside the Editor with the appropriate controls. Markdown is great for things like codeblocks, much better than going with a plugin that you have to learn something new or use a separate interface for codeblocks.

Other markdown plugins only convert your markdown to HTML without actually letting you just drop it in the post. It is also a great way to allow less tech-savvy users to use a non-block editor without learning HTML. It is a win-win plugin that I highly recommend.
