When importing github content (tickets, wiki, comments) we should deal with
their special markup. For example, code blocks with optional language
specification:
~~~~
```javascript
function fancyAlert(arg) {
if(arg) {
$.facebox({div:'#foo'})
}
}
```
~~~~
should be converted to:
<pre>
~~~~
function fancyAlert(arg) {
if(arg) {
$.facebox({div:'#foo'})
}
}
~~~~
</pre>
And strikethrough `~~example~~` should be converted to `<s>example</s>`. This
we could possibly support directly in our Markdown renderer if we wanted to.
That would also allow it to work for Markdown files in git repos (since we
won't modify those during import).
Emoji I don't think we should handle (yet?)
Cross-reference syntax
https://help.github.com/articles/github-flavored-markdown#references we may
want to consider handling. See also Trac syntax [#6140] handling.
Converting markdown can be tricky to get right, so we have to be careful that
we only convert the right content. Nested markup, escaped markup, etc.
