I am OK with using something simple like markdown. The output needs
to be "acceptable", not "beautiful". Plus I expect that there will be things
in some tickets which are nearly impossible to pass through any processing
and formatter without getting mangled. Might as well keep it simple.

Is there documentation on the markdown format supported by the RSB?

I assume it can be used to produce PDF and HTML.
