Hi @blackshrub,
Thank you for your request.

This has been requested before, I'll copy my response from #1076:

Currently markdown within description fields is not supported. Descriptions are purposefully designed to be as simple as possible. Allowing advanced formatting would add a good bit of complexity. It may also make it less clear where actual content should be placed whereas, at the moment, it's clear content is held in pages.

Due to the above, I'd prefer not to have further formatting in descriptions.
