Django Text Formatting, Markup? Markdown?
You can have a look at CKEditor.
I am very interested in using Django for creating a small travel blog for myself.  There are a few reasons why I am more interested in using Django instead of something like Wordpress.  One is that I am interested in having a grip on all the details and in the end creating something that doesn't look like a wordpress blog, the second, is that I want several blogs, one for each place I visit, which isn't natively handled by wordpress.  
The problem is that when I'm abroad, I want to be able to type a blog that will automatically create paragraph tags for me at the very least and handle a lot of the small html formatting tyoe things that Wordpress does for you.  What is the common workflow for something like this? I don't want something crazy like TinyMCE, but something above having to type every little html tag.  
Thanks for the help.
