Is there a tool like pandoc cli for converting HTML markup to StackOverflow markup syntax out there? I'm frankly not feeling up to digging the SO docs over and over to apply simple structure to my SO posts. Stuff like:

[link](http://link.com/), 
__italics__, 
**bolds**, 
# etc.

are ok, but I don't really want to bother remembering it...

StackOverflow actually uses MarkDown, a popular html syntax. When writing answers and questions, it provides a WYSIWYG editor for common MD functions such as bolding, underlining, headers, links, etc. Comments are usually short and at the most contain some code or a link.

If you really need to you can google for a WYSIWYG online editor such as StackEdit that you can write your posts in.

Heck Yes Markdown seems to offer a useful api.
