    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. 😉
