I'll use this comment to address some questions I'm getting on the demo:
Simple reason is that a plaintext markdown editor was easier to implement. I decided plaintext was "good enough" for the kind of site Confab is intended for. If there is enough demand for this, I'd be happy to look into implementing a better editor in the future. Edit: The current editor has graphical icons for all the rich text features which automatically inserts markdown snippets, so even a user who doesn't know markdown shouldn't have too much trouble using it.
I have a js implemented a simple wysiwyg editor for markdown in react, I can add you on the repo and share a link if yoy want to copy it
You can share a link here if you would like. ConfabUI is written in Svelte though, so I'm not sure how nice it would be to integrate with React.
The repository is not public (yet), so I created a gist with the relevant code for the transformations I have implemented. This is pure JS (typescript to be exact), I am not familiar with svelte, but maybe it's easier to plug them in. https://gist.github.com/souperk/6208d9401e4d5e47ab4b9d503b6e97c2
