Make nicer display of non edit view of document

[elinw]

Right now we are using verbatim text and it's pretty ugly and unreadable. Switch to use html (will mean adding at least <p></p> tags and also consider converting QCODE tags to <mark></mark>. This is ideally a gsub use case I would think.

I did the above and it looks much better #39 but it could definitely be improved upon by using multiple colors, doing something more complex with colors, doing something with the code strings ({}).

@elinw There is actually a way to visualize and code highlight in the aceEditor (you basically make a set of rules for it to scan text for). It didn't look too difficult to build a code highlighter. I will take a look and see if I can implement it if that's of interest.

I think it would be neat, when I’m in the editor I sometimes feel like it takes more scanning the text than it should to see where the codes start and end. (And what is or is not marked).
