Markdown compatibility #114

I was trying a few options when editing comments and I notice that not all Markdown commands are working... and you have to add two extra spaces at the end of each paragraph to make it to change line... it is not standard and I discovered by accident. That's annoying...

Is it possible to make it more compatible with Markdown? At least a bit more?

I found some more about Markdown here:

http://commonmark.org/help/
http://commonmark.org/help/tutorial/
http://spec.commonmark.org/dingus/

I know markdown is more and more common but it would be ideal to have a HELP buttom so users could just click on it and have a screen that shows all the possible makrdown commands (or at least a link that would open a new window so they could check and see how to use markdown)

I constantly need to check again the syntax because I don't use Markdown anywhere else (only in Bugs).

Or maybe instead of fully using markdown we could have a very simplified version but that is practical and easy to understand.

This github text box is very nice and you just type the link and it understands it is a link... Nothing else - there is no need to add ....

I would prefer to not worry about knowing markdown... just simple typing or a very simple syntax (actually that's the goal of Markdown, right?):

I think it is important to have:

  • bold
  • italic
  • block quote
  • block code
  • link (just typing it should be enough)
  • line
  • lists

Any ideas?
Thank you!
