Github markdown that respects newlines

Question

I've got a txt file with a list that looks like this

# Actors
Robert Mitchum
John Voight

# Musicians
Geddy Lee
Angus Young

I would like to add that text to a Github Wiki page, and make it render like this: (one line of text for each line of text in my txt-file)

But by default, github's flavor of markdown will render it like this

Is there any of the predefined edit modes in Github which could achieve this? Here's the list of the edit modes available

I like markdown overall, I just need a format that respects line breaks. Would prefer to continue using something with the same symbols as markdown. (But I basically only need # symbols for headers) However I could switch to a completely different style if I had to. (search-and-replacing my hashtags to other symbols would be easy) I just want a format that respects newlines and has some basic formatting for headers.

Answer 1
