I suppose this one is rather an easy update, but I believe it’d improve quality of life significantly : )

 ![The name and description fields of a query in Data Explorer.](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/f/a/1/fa1229aa8c82c9e2125f99c6a0151c889fba24c1.png)

I’ve been creating reports using [Data Explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true) for various user groups, and scheduling recurring posts to their dedicated topics.

I usually include instructions and the topic URL in the report descriptions. But, there is no text formatting, support for links, or even for the line breaks, the entire description looks very crumbed up and hard to read.

I think it would be very helpful if the description field supported Markdown.

Would that be possible to add?
