Multi-line markdown not implemented in About Me

(#806) Bug Needs triage markdown profiles
by RexSystem edited originally by @notgapriel on GitHub

Observed behaviour

When using trying to use markdown in the "about me" section only some stuff works. I tried "> [!NOTE]" and some other text block types but it doesn't recognise the type tag and only creates a default grey type. Similarly, you cannot create code blocks at all. I've tested and these work in a normal text chat.

Reproduction steps

  1. Go to user settings > profile > about me
  2. Type "> [!NOTE]", alternatively warning or caution
  3. It will not recognize the tag and instead display it as plain text
