If you make a post whose initial text contains Markdown, and you don't specify any description metadata, then the text that ends up pull-quoted on social media often contains that Markdown and looks yucky.
In the case of no description specified, we should supply the first paragraph with the Markdown stripped out. (So, translated to HTML, and then run through an HTML-stripper, I suppose.)
