Really?  What’s #1 and #3? :)

I find that setting the “block formatting” option in Admin/Settings/Timeline 
solves most of my problems in this area.

I don’t mind that Fossil’s block formatting rules assume single hard LFs are 
soft line breaks, or that it only inserts hard paragraph breaks on double LF.  
This is the same rule used by Markdown, so it’s not even something I have to 
actively think about any more; it’s just how plain text -> web text works in my 
brain now.

In fact, I’d welcome a feature that allowed Markdown-formatted checkin 
comments.  Not because I spend a lot of time making my checkin comments pretty, 
but because it would occasionally [be 
helpful](http://www.wikihow.com/Be-Helpful).  :)

Actually, I think my main use of Markdown-formatted checkin comments would be 
bullet lists, for those really complicated checkins that do several related 
things.

And while I’m wishing, an option for Markdown-formatted tickets would be nice, 
too.  Wiki markup is a bit overkill when all you want is the occasional 
`literal`, and it’s confusing to switch between Markdown and Wiki links, since 
their order of URL/text is opposite.
