[MlMt] Markdown broken in latest builds?

[Steve Mayer]

Benny,

   This is what I'm seeing and I think your stated solution is the 
correct one.  If I have Markdown enabled, I should be able to write in 
Markdown without worrying about if it's really going to be interpreted 
as Markdown or not.

Thanks!
