Could it be possible to make markdown displayable within folding spoilers (<details><summary>)?

E.g.

<details><summary>Previous snapd releases</summary>
## snapd 2.35
:gear: Snapshots ([topic](https ://forum .snapcraft .io/t/1670/11))
:gear: Parallel snap installs (topic?)
:gear: Warnings pipeline ([topic](https ://forum .snapcraft .io/t/2371))
:gear: Interface hooks ([topic](https ://forum .snapcraft .io/t/673))
</details>

Should output

snapd 2.35

:gear: Snapshots ([topic](https ://forum .snapcraft .io/t/1670/11))
:gear: Parallel snap installs (topic?)
:gear: Warnings pipeline ([topic](https ://forum .snapcraft .io/t/2371))
:gear: Interface hooks ([topic](https ://forum .snapcraft .io/t/673))

within a dropdown with a title (imagine the above is inside the dropdown):

Previous snapd releases

but instead it outputs:

Previous snapd releases ## snapd 2.35 :gear: Snapshots ([topic](https ://forum .snapcraft .io/t/1670/11)) :gear: Parallel snap installs (topic?) :gear: Warnings pipeline ([topic](https ://forum .snapcraft .io/t/2371)) :gear: Interface hooks ([topic](https ://forum .snapcraft .io/t/673))

(Would make the links proper but I’m a new user so I can’t)

You need to let one blank line between some of the formatting, especially after le summary and before/after the title

Previous snapd releases

snapd 2.35

:gear: Snapshots ([topic](https ://forum .snapcraft .io/t/1670/11))
:gear: Parallel snap installs (topic?)
:gear: Warnings pipeline ([topic](https ://forum .snapcraft .io/t/2371))
:gear: Interface hooks ([topic](https ://forum .snapcraft .io/t/673))

<details><summary>Previous snapd releases</summary>

## snapd 2.35

:gear: Snapshots ([topic](https ://forum .snapcraft .io/t/1670/11))
