I have a question about InfoDump. It replaces each "\n" with " ". Why is that? Now it's really hard for me to create a nice example for HungerGames because it's either two spaces or none.

STR, InfoDump does that so that the descriptions can be wrapped in the source file and yet the output contains no CRLFs. This is needed so that the forum doesn't wrap the text on both the page width and the manual CRLFs.

But the problem with that is that it's really hard to make a list that way.

Maybe a {%n} that gets replaced by a simple \n?

And what will it be replaced in GitHub processor?
I think you're going around this the wrong way, you're thinking about the formatting, rather than the content. We should use content-based markup and let the forum / github processors to decide the final formatting.
