Hello,

Unfortunately, there are pretty many "dialects" of markdown. `pandoc` 
has an option for MediaWiki, though. (I have only used `pandoc` to 
convert very simple documents, so I cannot judge the quality, but it 
seems to me that `pandoc` is recommended by many people)

By the way, conversion from LaTeX to html seems to be also painful. 
tex4ht breaks quite often, although I usually use it to convert math 
papers to ebooks to push on Kindles to read - when it works, it is okay. 
At least theoretically, texmacs does better - it has a much more regular 
syntax than LaTeX.

Best wishes,
