Frontend editing using a Text Area?

[twols]

Hello guys!

First of all, the Frontend Editing is really handy and I'm very thankful for that. There is one little improvement I would like to have (or implement): The editing of the text element could be done not by using the contenteditable attribute, but by a TextArea. I'm using Markdown but the Frontend Editing messes around and adds HTML-Markup instead of letting the text be simply plain.

I can't reproduce this. I can edit a textarea on the frontend and no HTML markup creeps in anywhere. Markdown works as expected when the Markdown textformatter is applied to the field. Do you have any other textformatters applied to your textarea? Any browser extensions that might be interfering?
