How to convert rich Markdown into just plain text? So it can be used i.e. for a Facebook OpenGraph description.
I'm using MarkdownSharp, and it doesn't seem to have this functionality. Before I'm going to reinvent the wheel I thought of asking here first.
Any hints about an implementation strategy are greatly appreciated!
Example
The Monorailcat
