package readme.md is Markdown but is not parsed by store as Markdown

[Stephen Stewart]

A snap package with a readme.md marked up in Markdown format is read as plain text by the store causing markup to be included in the store package fields, for example:

---
Test snap readme.md heading, used as tagline in myapps
======================================================

First line of test snap's readme.md, used as the package description
in myapps.

---
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~stephen-stewart/+junk/test-snap/view/5/meta/readme.md

This will put the markup for a heading at line 2 (=====) into the description field in the store package details.

I /think/ this is actually done by "snappy build", rather than the store
itself.

Thanks,
