I suppose that would work well, :) but on that site, I'm not an admin, and they have a policy against adding markdown, as it created to much load or something ...

If that's the case, then they probably would accept raw HTML, since there aren't many other options in Joom-land. You could author in Markdown, then use the Multi-markdown bundle to copy rendered HTML from your source doc and paste that into Joomla!.

But now I'm working on a new Joomla setup (where I am admin). :)

If you want to get rid of the "load", see about shadowing your content column with a rendered content column. That way you can store the Markdown in the content column, and cache the rendered HTML for repeat views. I haven't worked in Joomla! since version 1.5, so I may not know what I'm talking about here, but in many of the Rails-based markdown helpers, this is very much the done thing. You could also just rely on the normal Joomla! caching to take care of this for you. That's what I do on the one remaining Joomla! 1.5 site I manage.
