    Markdown is plain text, so it’s fine to go in the field. It’s also fine for apps to allow OP’s post to look like garbage because there’s no requirement for support.

      A comment here distinguishes between the ‘plain text’ that’s allowed by the spec, and MarkDown as a markup language (it’s confusingly named, I guess, but that’s what Wikipedia categorises it as too)

        Oh yea, I just mean that all markdown characters are ASCII, and thus allowed in a plain text field. 😉
