It won't pull in the some of the more GitHub-specific markdown add-ons because the GitHub API doesn't return those in the markdown.

The body field in the query below is what essay.dev uses to render the post. It is interesting that GitHub puts the hash link in the bodyHTML field, though.

query IssueQuery {
  gitHub {
    repository(name: "essay.dev" owner: "onegraph") {
      issue(number: 28) {
        bodyHTML
        body
      }
    }
  }
}

{
  "data": {
    "gitHub": {
      "repository": {
        "issue": {
          "bodyHTML": "<p>Today I found this project on <a href=\"https://news.ycombinator.com/\" rel=\"nofollow\">HackerNews</a> and decided to give it a try.</p>\n<p>The idea of a blog that uses Github issues as posts is intriguing, I'm wondering if it supports Github-flavored Markdown in its entirety.</p>\n<p>For instance, should the hash <a class=\"commit-link\" data-hovercard-type=\"commit\" data-hovercard-url=\"https://github.com/OneGraph/essay.dev/commit/431af3504780b1f69d74687715bd99e00cd8ac73/hovercard\" href=\"https://github.com/OneGraph/essay.dev/commit/431af3504780b1f69d74687715bd99e00cd8ac73\"><tt>431af35</tt></a> should point to a commit of this repository ?</p>",
