e represent the markdown edit only inside the onSave function.

So you have to get the markdown instance, I checked the plugin and it's possible (hacky but possible :-)

If you want to access it inside your post click function you have to access it in this way:

• get the markdown element
• get the markdown instance via data('markdown')
• use the parseContent function

Code:

$(".btn-post").click(function (e) {
    post = $('.status-box').data('markdown').parseContent();
    console.log(post)
});
