I _think_ it broken in this [security fix](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/8ae7cb2414d6918d7fc45e1fda7ffbb32912a975).

Should be better with

> <https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/42164>
>
> Previously, reviewable reasons from custom flag producers were treated as inline… text, and pre-escaping prevented Markdown and line-break formatting from being recognized.
> 
> This change cooks a constrained Markdown subset at serialization so every producer shares one sanitization boundary, renders cooked block HTML directly, and keeps watched-word matches literal because their Markdown metacharacters are data rather than formatting.
