Should Markdown be in core? #7883

Markdown is pretty widely supported now and as we're seeing .docx usage dwindle in comparison should we bring .md into core the same way .docx is in core?

If yes... There are two ways to do it..

  1. Include ep_markdown as a plugin that is installed by default (can be uninstalled I guess?) - we don't currently have "default plugins" afaik but I'm not opposed to it as it encourages people to go into /admin to disable it and when they are in there they might find some plugins that are useful for them...

  2. Bring .md support directly into core.. Deprecates ep_markdown - the maintenance cost for ep_markdown is really low anyway so this wont be a lot of additional effort but does add something to the UI we want to keep minimalist.
