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.
