Otherwise it will be confusing and very hard to remember which features are supported with Markdown syntax and which are not.

This is way overstating the case. Ddoc already supports some markdown, and some markdown in different ways.

For instance, as I've been working on adding Markdown features I was surprised to discover that DDoc's current support for backtick-delimited code only works within a single line. Most implementations I've seen allow it to span hard-wrapped lines, as long as it's within a single paragraph.

The:

is for multiline code blocks.


I'd like to support as many Markdown features as we can,

Only the ones that make good sense for Ddoc, not as many as technically 
possible.


but there will always be a some differences--particularly those that conflict with existing DDoc features.

Yes, and keep in mind there is no such thing as standard Markdown. Every implementation has significant differences.
