If the wxHtml widget would support markdown that would work but I don't
think that is the case.  I prefer converting it to markdown and moving
it into the Eeschema user documentation.  It's currently not in the
documentation so that is an issue itself.  It's something we should
definitely take a look at both in terms of the documentation and the
lack of translation.
