Markdown formatting is supported since the first version of WebLab. While the renderers have been updated 2 or 3 times, we tried to keep the rendering compatible.
However, the syntax/rendering provided by WebLab differs for some constructs from the standards that are commonly used today.

From Yoshi:

Examples: bullet point lists require an empty line above them in order to render properly, and nested bullet points must be indented with 4 spaces (most renders accept 2)

Let’s investigate if we can easily switch to GFM - https://github.github.com/gfm/
