    This patch adds a markdown formatting toolbar for rich text editors.
    The buttons for inline formatting add the corresponding syntax to the
    selection if one exists, or just inserts the syntax and positions
    the cursor. This applies to the bold, italic, strikethrough, ordered
    and unordered list, and code buttons. If the selection begins and ends
    with the same syntax as the button being pressed, the syntax is removed.
    For example, if the bold button is pressed and the selection is already
    bolded, the bold syntax is removed.

    For the insert link button, if there is a selection, the selection
    becomes the text to display for the url. Otherwise, it inserts syntax
    for a link and positions the cursor where the text to display will go.
    Positioning the cursor in a formatted link, selecting the text in the
    link, or the either link will remove the formatting.

    For the upload image button, it opens a dialog to upload an image.
    A reference to the image is added to the editor.

    For the ordered and unordered list buttons, numbers (1.) or dashes (-)
    are appended to or removed from to the beginning of the current line.

    Unit tests for each type of formatting with:
    - an empty selection
    - cursor positioned in text
    - unformatted text selection
    - formatted text selection with text only, not including syntax
    - formatted text selection including both text & syntax
