Improve descriptions with Markdown or other lightweight formatting options

It would be lovely to have an easy way to insert "formatted" text in the decription.
I haven't tried just doing ASCII escape codes yet, as I assume they should work, but being able to flag stuff as say "code" to use for output examples, and have that pop up in a different font, perhaps with an ASCII box around it, or just offset and a different colour/italisized.

If opening a issue as a Feature Request isn't the right process, please just close this.

That's a great idea actually.
There's a lot to be done on the UX side to make this more pleasant to work with, this is one avenue, thank you!

I'll look for some options & and how to potentially tackle it
