How can i set disable Markdown & Default to Rich Text

The idea here is that we want to let members write in the composer that works best for them — admins know their communities and can make a reasonable choice about which default makes the most sense, but members should be able to choose a different mode if it works better for them.

I believe that might seem like the reasonable behavior for most forums. I use my forum, though, as a Q&A site for my college students studying mathematics, statistics, and data science. Learning Markdown and LaTeX is part of the point.

I have no doubt that many of them want to use the rich editor. They really need to use the Markdown editor, though. So, I’m glad I can enforce this by setting the Markdown editor as the default and hiding the toggle switch with CSS.
