Adds some style tweaks and minor features to the excellent WorkFlowy.com.

When zoomed into a node, this extension will render markdown type syntax and add syntax highlighting to any code blocks within the node's notes.

note: to edit notes use the keyboard shortcut (SHIFT+ENTER) or double-click the notes area
