Everything I've tested comes through fine. One minor thing we should look at
is if we can support ``` without a blank line before it. E.g. at
https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Installation#building-on-windows
Github doesn't require a blank line before new types of blocks like code and
lists. A little manual cleanup is probably ok, but since we're already
handling ``` I think its worth trying to add the blank line in automatically.
Not a big deal if its difficult, though.

** [tickets:#6622] Convert or handle Github markdown extensions**

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.
