More details in the markdown help. Currently it only says how to do five things, so even people who find it aren't informed about how to do things like
skip only one line between paragraphs, or whatever.

In particular, numbered lists are a problem, and iirc, so are linebreaks for poetry.

The "Help" text should link to the Comment formatting wiki page that can give further instructions.

Any chance of adding [[Jargon]] to the wiki sidebar, or to the front of the FAQ?

It could be included in the FAQ as one of the "questions". You can edit the sidebar yourself.

The markdown code Less Wrong uses is kind of a nightmare. It probably wouldn't be too hard to cruft on some new features, but it would be scary.
