Add support for text formatting for project and studio descriptions
1/Context:
A while ago, I proposed adding simplified BBcode support to project and studio descriptions. However, after further reflection, I realized that BBcode might be difficult to implement in descriptions and could raise security concerns. That’s why I’m creating this topic
2/The idea:
As in the original suggestion, I propose adding support for text formatting (such as Markdown, since JS libraries for it already exist) to project and studio descriptions
3/Why add it?
I believe we should add text formatting support to make descriptions easier to read and better structured. It could be used to:
Create clear sections
Highlight important points
Better formatting enables creators to present their work in a more attractive way, it may encourage to read descriptions

It is more secure compared to BBcode, as it can be sanitized effectively
4/Some examples (Markdown):
