Markup language in webforms

I am creating webforms, and the process is fine, even though there seem to be some field limitations.  I would like to add some formatting using Markdown language, but none of the tags work.  This seems like HTML and I am familiar with using that.  I add the tags, when then I view or publish the forms, I just see the tags as if they were regular text.  Suggestions?

@TomCSB I just tried this out and it’s working for me. Keep in mind that:

  1. Markdown is supported in the Page subtitle and Description text fields.
  2. When adding markdown in Description text fields, the formatting doesn’t appear until you select another field in the web form. It does not appear while the Description text field is selected.

See my screenshots in this post. Please also see our support article Format Text in Page Subtitle and Field Description Fields for additional information.
