 It might be worth following...

+> ikiwiki does not implement Markdown: we use a third-party library for that
+> (there are several options, but the recommended one is currently
+> [[!cpan Text::Markdown::Discount]]). We support whatever dialect
+> of Markdown is implemented by the chosen Markdown implementation.
+>
+> As a result, nothing is likely to change in ikiwiki's interpretation of
+> Markdown unless someone either changes the behaviour of Discount,
+> or recommends a different (and hopefully better) third-party library.
