 * Hi. Thanks for the plugin. I have a fix (hack) for anyone who runs into an issue
   of activating the plugin and having it turn off your visual editor. Yes, I am
   aware there is a setting to enable the markdown editor when writing but even 
   when that was not turned on, this plugin removed my theme-specific visual editor
   which included theme-specific buttons for styling.
 * I removed lines 139 – 140 and lines 148 – 155 in wp-markdown.php to remove any
   modifications to the Rich Editor. This will not let you use the markdown editor
   when writing, but it also solved my theme visual editor conflict.
 * I’m using the KnowHow theme: [http://themeforest.net/item/knowhow-a-wordpress-knowledge-basewiki-theme/2813111](http://themeforest.net/item/knowhow-a-wordpress-knowledge-basewiki-theme/2813111)
