There doesn’t appear to a way switch the new WYSIWYG markdown editor off? It’s driving me mad, I’m used to writing raw Markdown 
I think there is a setting that enables users to toggle it on and off?
@chris thanks for calling this out.
I’ve changed " Default composition mode" from Rich Text to Markdown.
The admin configuration in the announcement don’t match what I see.
How does seem now?

Thanks @gundalow I think giving users the ability to write raw markdown makes sense on this site! It is a shame that you no longer get the preview when writing raw markdown but I don’t think this is an option any more.
However it probably makes sense to default to Rich Text for people? On other Discourse instances I help run we have Rich editor, Enable the rich editor so all users can switch between the current Markdown mode and the new rich text editor for more intuitive and user-friendly composition. ticked, is this an option on this instance?
The left-most button in the composition window ribbon toggles between “MD” and “A” (rich text). I hadn’t noticed before, but that works great. And I’m seeing the preview pane in “MD” mode.

@chris do you have the URL or full setting name for that option?
