Description
The WordPress Plugin Readme Standard implies that readmes follow the Markdown rules detailed here (Daring Fireball).
However, that doesn't seem to be so (indented code blocks aren't respected, as an example). In #2655 (comment 2), though, it mentions that Markdown Extra is the library that is actually used.
If that's correct, can we swap out the Daring Fireball reference for the Markdown Extra one?

Updated link to readme.txt: https://wordpress.org/plugins/readme.txt
Still linking to https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax
And as https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2655 is still marked as maybelater we could add a note to the FAQ section that backticks are not possible here (or even better we finally fix this issue)
This probably explains the issue in #2931 too.
