Affirmative, after installing elpa-markdown-mode (example in Linux Debian's
synaptic), the box opens as anticipated.  The text's markup indications for
e.g., text in bold, italic equally work as does joining snippets via tangle
(C-c C-v t).

Similar to org-mode (self)reporting about org-mode, i.e.

```org
  #+begin_src org
,* level one
,** level two
,** level two
  #+end_src
```

the escaping comma equally is added on the fly when closing the box (C-c ') for
a box about markdown, too.  The handy promotion/demotion of headers, or entries
of a list (M-left, M-right) which equally is available in an open box about
orgmode however is absent for an open box about markdown (M-up/M-down is
absent for both); however, this is not perceived as a constraint.

Thank you, the issue is resolved.
