-Trac syntax for headings, e.g. `== NOTE ==` is not converted in the Trac ticket export/import process.
+The Trac ticket export/import process doesn't handle the following syntax correctly:
+
+* headings e.g. `== NOTE ==`
+* preformatted blocks, using `{{{ ... }}}` -- this does seem to come through OK in comments, presumably because we're converting those differently
+* lists that have no blank line preceding them, e.g. `blah blah\n* foo\n* bar`
+* https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gfarm/ticket/594#comment:5 gets a `\n` incorrectly introduced between "merged into" and "2.6 branch"
+* `----` for a horizontal line becomes a markdown heading if there is no blank line before it
+* special characters that Markdown might interpret need to be escaped.  Simple example: `foo <a b c> bar`  Perhaps helpers.plain2markdown() will help.
+* Make sure external links like `[http://google.com test]` work (I'm not sure) 
+
+
+These are the issues I noticed - look through the Trac syntax reference to see if there are more.

The Trac ticket export/import process doesn't handle the following syntax correctly:

* headings e.g. `== NOTE ==`
* preformatted blocks, using `{{{ ... }}}` -- this does seem to come through OK in comments, presumably because we're converting those differently
* lists that have no blank line preceding them, e.g. `blah blah\n* foo\n* bar`
* https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gfarm/ticket/594#comment:5 gets a `\n` incorrectly introduced between "merged into" and "2.6 branch"
* `----` for a horizontal line becomes a markdown heading if there is no blank line before it
* special characters that Markdown might interpret need to be escaped.  Simple example: `foo <a b c> bar`  Perhaps helpers.plain2markdown() will help.
* Make sure external links like `[http://google.com test]` work (I'm not sure)
