I’m familiar with CKEditor which converts bold text to its HTML tags <strong>. Other editors (like the editor on this site) use Markdown formatting and I see bold text wrapped in stars instead of HTML like this **text**.
Sp does this mean that using a markdown editor protects you by default from any XSS in that user input? I think yes (which is the the main reason I want to use a markdown editor and not ckeditor), but want to double check.
According to this: http://michelf.com/weblog/2010/markdown-and-xss/
It doesn’t escape XSS on default
