Markdown support!

Not having markdown available on devtalk is painful since it works pretty much everywhere else in the Blender ecosystem. RCS, bug tracker, blender.chat, you name it. It always throws me off when I come back here and try to inline some code with a backtick and it doesn’t work :slight_smile:

[edit: I guess I should say, it doesn't work the way I expect since it technically does work, it’s just not visible. but yeah, having the full range of markdown would be great. underline won’t be bold. And while Bold is nice, having ## Headers ## would be great, etc.]

Discourse supports standard markdown, which does not include underline for example.

A lot of software has slight variations in their markdown implementation, but this is not something we are going to fix. That’s really up to those projects, we just use them.
