Markdown Discuss - Aug 2012 - Disabling certain stuff for my forum

Hey!

Is it possible to disable stuff such as headings? I want to use Markdown
for my forum but I don't want to allow headings as I believe some users
will exploit them to gain more attention. Have anybody been in a similar
situation before? Let me know what you did. Thanks.

1. You can always take the result and process the DOM. E.g., use something like
Nokogiri / hpricot to convert <h1>, <h2> nodes (etc) to <p> or
even <p><b></b></p>.

2. You can simply use CSS to limit the size of text in the comment fields

3. Please note that you must sanitize Markdown input (or disable the raw HTML
feature) if you will be accepting user-generated Markdown, for security reasons.
There is a common set of XSS inputs to test against.
