--- Comment #2 from Jonathan Garbee <jonathan@garbee.me> ---
Looks pretty quickly decided in the Mailing List by others that we shouldn't
allow multiple syntaxes.  We will continue to stick with MediaWiki syntax for
simplicity and sanity's sake.

There is some work being done to a plugin for the Q&A system to use markdown as
a code syntax there to allow for some formatting.

Janet Swisher pointed out in the Mailing List that you can use Pandoc [1] to
convert between markup syntaxes.  So you can code in markdown and use this to
convert before importing into WPD.
