Whiteboard

The specification for the markdown syntax used by Github can be found at http://github.github.com/github-flavored-markdown/

This blueprint is mainly about Zim being able to handle Markdown-based notebooks. There is nothing particular about Github wikis, You can also use a plain git repo to store a markdown based notebook, Github will handle it fine, as well as some open source git repository viewers (for example GitList - http://gitlist.org/). An example of such a repository can be found at https://github.com/nodiscc/notes

Since markdown differs from zim wiki syntax in feature like e.g. handling line breaks there is some impact on the pageview widget to make it work seamless - but for first iteration we can leave that out - but will break WYSIWYG a bit.
