Description

Hi. I've installed Tiki 27.0 and turned on markdown (which is marked as experimental). When I try to create a wiki page, the editor is just missing. Nothing can be entered. This is due to my javacript blocker. It's called Noscript and is a Firefox extension.

According to Noscript, there is a dependency on toast.com, for some javascript code. It looks like the editor component is loaded from that external source. When I allow for javascript code to be loaded from toast.com, then the editor appears and it works.

It's a security problem, in my eyes. I don't want to have to trust some external source, like toast.com. The markdown editor should be included in Tiki, like all the many other libraries and components.

(Aside: There isn't any accurate choice for the mandatory "Category" field, so I've chosen "Bug". Maybe there should be added an "Other" category).
