Currently, the markdowntextblock supports bold text (**bold text**), italic text (*italic text*), but, unlike the vast majority of markdown parsers, it does not support bold and italic text (***bold and italic text***). I don't know how complicated this would be to add, but it feels like quite an important feature of markdown that's not functional.
Great suggestion. I'll add this to 2.0 as I believe it is too late to get in for 1.5
Also for strikethrough ~~strikethrough~~
