The input format help text is so short that I found myself constantly clicking out to Daring Fireball to get the right information (which is two clicks) which became tedious quickly. I should just learn Markdown faster, but especially for novice users, this can be confusing/frustrating.

My solution was to add a cheat sheet block based on http://warpedvisions.org/projects/markdown-cheat-sheet/ and only show that on node/*/edit

If that seems like it should be included I'd be happy to make a patch.

+1. with regions, one could move that to the form itself if desired ... if using of markdown, consider using live.module. i plan to install that on groups.drupal.org soon.

I dislike heredoc - not translateable and feels weird - but it works. Thoughts?

Also, do you think this module should bother with the visibility settings for node/add/* and node/*/edit or should that be up to the user?

I've obviously left it to the user.

i committed this. i removed the status=1 since i don't think a block should suddenly appear on your site. feel free to submit follow up patches.

That works for me. I guess if someone really wants to translate it then it will see a patch to figure out how to do that pest.

Thanks!
