Comment 21 for bug 391780

Markdown has become the de facto standard, used at for example GitLab, GitHub and Stack Overflow, so it would be great if not only hyperlinks, but the complete Markdown formatting conventions was also adapted for Launchpad itself, and available everywhere. Both in the Bug Description, but also comments, such as this one.
