If you look at a formatter like tidy, it's got a lot of options where you

No, it would be a compatibility nightmare, for no benefit.

Another thing, is it possible to convert newlines to <br/> tags? I tried
nl2br before and after passing the string to markdown, but either way
there's to many br tags then.

Put two spaces at the end of a line to insert a line break like this.

Is it a bug or a feature that the following two texts get formatted
differently?

My shopping list
+ Bread
+ Milk
+ Cheese

It is most definitely a feature.  Imagine you had text something like:

    To calculate the result, we add the two numbers 5
    + 6, and we obtain the sum 11.  Then we compute 11
    - 2.

It would be horribly inconvenient if this was interpreted as a list. (Forgive the contrived example.)
