Currently, no. These tags will not be rendered correctly. But the short answer is that they maybe should be.
The Markdown syntax documentation you reference is the general spec for the Markdown standard, not controlled by Trello or anyone by John Gruber, originator of Markdown. Here's the full quotation:
Markdown is not a replacement for HTML, or even ...

Make sure you've got Tumblr set to format your posts with Markdown here. Then, the syntax is:
That's some text with a footnote.[^1]
[^1]: And that's the footnote.
As noted here.

You use Markdown simply by inserting Markdown "code" directly into the card description as you type. When you save the description your Markdown code will automatically be converted to formatted text.
If your issue is that you don't understand how to write in Markdown, there is a detailed explanation of how it all works on the Markdown syntax page. If ...

What you'll need here is to add a double-space, or two spaces, at the end of the line before you hit the Enter.
So in this case, the keys entered would be:
George SmithspacespaceEnter
27 Smith StreetspacespaceEnter
Smithsville
Markdown requires the addition of those two spaces at the end to mark a new linebreak.

You may be missing the full path/location to the image you want to include in your Markdown file.
The example given is a relative path, where the image rests on the same server as the file. In the help, it would assume the image is actually located at:
https://github.com/images/logo.png
But that is not a valid file or location.
In order to make sure you ...

The most basic form is just wrap your code with <code> tags. If you want somthing more fancy, you can use http://codeformatter.blogspot.com/. Just paste in your code beforehand and it will give you the HTML to paste on your Blogger page. It gives nice effects like alternating color lines and line numbers.
For example your example, using the defaults ...

I've created a Chrome, Firefox, and Thunderbird extension that allows you to write email in Markdown (in Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, or Thunderbird) and then convert to HTML before sending.
If someone sends you raw Markdown it won't render it for you, but it lets you send rendered Markdown to others.
Hope it helps.

I think a better method is to use the 'nowiki' tag. This is generic and does not rely on knowing character codes, plus your text is more readable.
<nowiki>*</nowiki> will display as an asterisk at the start of the sentence.

Now you can display any special characters you like!

Take a look at wrttn.in
Wrttn is a simple notepad with many useful features, the main one
being that you can save as much text as you like while taking
advantage of the formatting options markup languages such as Textile
or Markdown give you.
This means that you can use wrttn to jot down ideas, write an article,
an essay, a collection of ...

PHP Markdown can be installed as a plugin in Wordpress.
Also, TextPattern does not accept markdown, but it uses a similar human-readable text to HTML engine called Textile.

While I'm impressed that your organization would rather use Markdown than a WYSIWYG editor, I'm afraid that Google sites does not currently support Markdown syntax. You could write the text in Markdown locally using an editor like Textmate, and use a bundle or a script to convert that to HTML, and then paste the HTML into your site (Google Sites will let ...

Non-standard protocols were disabled as a security precaution, to prevent the use of dangerous URIs (e.g. javascript:) from being rendered.
See https://github.com/evilstreak/markdown-js/pull/52 for a pull request with more details.

Instead of using the HTML entity, you can insert the character itself in Trello list titles, card titles and descriptions (and even comments, which do not support Markdown). Usually, when I need a special character, I do a web search to find the a website that uses the sought character, copy it (CTRL/CMD+C) and paste it where I need it (CTRL/CMD+V). That's ...

You cannot disable Markdown in card descriptions in Trello. However, Markdown allows you to use backslash escapes to generate literal characters which would otherwise have special meaning in Markdown’s formatting syntax. For example, if you wanted to surround a word with literal underscores, you can use backslashes before the underscores, like this:

In response to the answer above:
As of January 30th, 2013, GitHub now allow relative links.
Make sure that you append ?raw=true to the end of the URL, though. Here is an example:
Due to the way GitHub handles URL's, if you do not append ?raw=true to the source URL your browser will attempt to ...

Lightweight free markdown editor but no password protection. Doesn't seem to intercept AltGr+S.
http://wrttn.in/
Still no password, no interception ... and provides a button to save.

I don't use Tumblr myself, but on all other markdown-using sites that I'm familiar with (StackExchance included), the syntax
1. Bullet one.
1. Bullet one. one.
2. Bullet one. two.
2. Bullet two
gives the result you're looking for as far as generating correct HTML is concerned:
Bullet one.
Bullet one. one.
Bullet one. two.
Bullet two
The appearance ...

You enter it as ∗ or as *, which will be displayed as ∗ and *, respectively, in HTML.
Here is a test:
Here is displayed as a bullet list.
∗ Here is displayer as an asterisk operator (Math Asterisk).
* Here is displayed as an asterisk.
And your example:
∗Hello world, this sentence is not in an unordered list.

If you are using the GeShi syntax highlighting extension to MediaWiki, then you can just insert your C♯ code as-is, enclosed within a <syntaxhighlight/> element. (This is, as you can see from the syntax highlighting extensions category, one of several such MediaWiki extensions.)

Windows
Here are some examples which may be accepted by some applications on Windows systems, referring to the same, local file c:\WINDOWS\clock.avi
file://localhost/c|/WINDOWS/clock.avi
file:///c|/WINDOWS/clock.avi
file://localhost/c:/WINDOWS/clock.avi
Here is the correct URI as understood by the Windows Shell API:

You haven't actually told us what is painful.
Is it the lack of shading? Or is it the fact that Blogger tries to interpret HTML (and HTML-like) commands in the code.
If it's the latter, then a very simpley solution is just to turn of the interpretation: it's an option under the Post Options settings in the post-editor.

It seems the real problem lies in the fact that embedded scripts are ignored in posts, most likely for security issues.
But it is possible to load JS within the description field when you go to "Customize your blog" (Kind of defeats the previous statement)
So you may be able to use a JS library (I think Write Capture might help) that allows you to write ...

LinkedIn does not support any of these tools "out of the box".
I created a new private LinkedIn group in which I could make test posts all day long without bothering anyone. HTML, Markdown and Textile all just rendered as plain text with gobbledegook. Some examples:
[n.b.: I am new to Textile, so that formatting may be incorrect. Even if so I'd bet ...

Try notepad.cc. Raw text only and you get a unique URL per file/document. You can add a password to your file too and change your URL. There is no concept of a user though. It's file-centric so you'd need to keep track of the documents on your own.
