Describe the Bug

Markdown drafts are replaced with HTML when going back to editing.

Steps to Reproduce

Create a new page with markdown editor enabled
Save that page as a draft
Click "Back" in upper left
Click new draft page to go back into editor
Page is now full of HTML

Expected Behaviour

The draft should still be in Markdown.

Screenshots or Additional Context

Saving the page normally (instead of as a draft) does not cause the markdown to be replaced with HTML. Saving a draft of an existing page works as expected.

Exact BookStack Version

21.10.3

PHP Version

No response

Hosting Environment

Linuxserver.io docker container

Thanks for reporting @serenewaffles, was able to reproduce on my instance. Have now applied a patch and added a test to help prevent regression. Will be part of the next feature release.
