Is there a way to format the list of poll options in a multiple choice poll like the following? I’d like to add some “headers” as this may make it easier for people taking the poll (esp. when the list is somewhat long).

```
Poll question: what's your favorite movie? 

Action
* Option 1
* Option 2
* Option 3
Comedy
* Option 4
* Option 5
* Option 6
* Option 7
Documentary
* Option 8
* Option 9
...

```

No, there is no way to add headers or additional formatting to a poll at this time.
