Should HTML or Markdown be passed to /questions/{id}/edit?

Question

I'm making an app that supports editing questions. Should HTML or Markdown source be passed to the body parameter of /questions/{id}/edit?

Answer 1

Markdown. While you could use HTML (just like you can in posts), each time you use HTML instead of Markdown to format a post, Evan Carroll rapes a little kitten and sticks another needle in his Jeff Atwood voodoo doll.
