Is it also possible to add markdown syntax or something inside a help texts?

Am trying to have my help text as:

---------------

To see sample, click here: www.samplewebsite.com (clickable)

Instructions:

1.  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.
2.  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.
3.  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.

---------------

Currently what I'm getting is just like:

---------------

To see sample, click here: www.samplewebsite.com (not clickable) Instructions: 1.  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. 2.  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. 3.  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.

---------------

I've tried adding some before but to no avail, it just posted every word as it is and didn't actually read it.

This one's using a webform and with that format, it doesn't seem to be all that appealing with a link not being able to click and an instruction in a paragraph form. Ekkkk

 

Thanks

  I don't think it's possible.

  Hello Kelley,

  Yes, rich texts like those. However, those rich text formatting and markdown syntax doesn't work in my help texts tho it works in a text field, comments and all. In my help texts, it's just showing my code as it is and not actually reading it.

  Thank you

  Kelley or anyone else from Podio, has this been added in the 3 years since Lennie started this thread? We also need to have links show up in our Help text. By Help text, I mean the text that pops up when you mouse over a field in an item screen in most apps.
