Want a simple editor for your Comments?
It doesn't come much easier than this....

Two simple links to JS and you have a toolbar and a live preview of your post.
Check out the [url=http://wmd-editor.com/demo]WMD Demo[/url]
If your happy with it and sign up at WMD then this is what I did to the core files. ( Note: my installation was the Basic version )
1. for live comment preview
_item_comment_form.inc.php
Find ( at the bottom of the file )
echo '</div>';
$Form->end_fieldset();
?>
and change to
echo '<div class="wmd-preview"></div></div>';
$Form->end_fieldset();
?>
2. JS link.
_html_footer.inc.php
Find ( at the bottom of the file )
<!-- End of skin_wrapper -->
</div>
</body>
</html>
and change to
<!-- End of skin_wrapper -->
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://box5.wmd-editor.com/1725/wmd.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
Ok, the problem is that Markdown doesn't seem to be recognised in the Comments section.
Can this be achieved, as it is in the Write screen?
It also requires that Auto Br be off.
