Ragu just means a meat sauce. Bolognese would be ragu alla bolognese, but there are other ragus which aren't bolognese.

Most countries in the world are "really metric countries". And yes we do use the cm a lot for measurements inside the 1-100cm range.

That is the kind of aggressive apatheist mentality which got the US into this situation in the first place.

I read all that and I must admit I am still not quite sure what part of all that is markdown, and why any of it is markdown.

I get that this sentence must be the key concept: "“Markdown” is the name of a particular standard way of formatting text so that programs can reliably interpret parts of that text as representing the writers desire for their text to be displayed a particular way." But it reads like a tautology without really explaining either statement.
