It pains me that we are editing Pillar in outside tools, and now we should no longer have to do that.��Of course, this is not the most ideal tool support for Pillar but I think it is a reasonable start.

To make things sadder: when I need to write some short ���richish" I���m using markdown instead for pillar because in ATOM I can open the rendered version of my document that will update while i type (and will display images and so on). It could be nice to have the same functionality in Pharo, but I���m really busy with improving other parts. Additionally I���m not sure that it makes sense to reimplement rich text editor in Pharo.

For me it would be really nice to have this kind of support for markdown. That's the language I'm using for writing my PhD thesis in Pharo, and in fact now that I'm in hackademia Summer School[1] is nice to find some other PhD students that in fact are using markdown in their writing.

Having syntax highlighting and graphics preview for markdown would be a way to introduce some new non-technical users and researchers to the Pharo world, reproducible research, interactive documentation and modable tools, but we need to start in a place they know, for example its markup language.
