Research direction

Start in the Text editor and trace how rich-text editing is enabled or disabled through the rich_editing_enabled setting. Define how an "Edit raw" control should expose and save Markdown containing non-standard elements, while preserving the existing editing behavior; the feature is done when raw Markdown can be edited without being normalized by the rich-text renderer.
