gollark: That is not planned, apart from an "export as HTML page" feature.
gollark: Well, I meant features specific to the editor, but general ones are fine too.Anyway, that is planned, although it may just be HTTP basic auth or something.
gollark: Google Docs doesn't support Markdown I think, although I *could* embed it, use its HTML export feature programmatically somehow, and then convert HTML to CommonMark.
gollark: Yes, but it does Markdown quite well.
gollark: It would also be possible to just shove in CodeMirror, which is a fairly full-featured editor for various things including Markdown.
