core display text should support markdown instead of HTML?

[BryanWilhite]

the questions posed at the end of this comment leads me to investigate the possibility of moving the concept of display text beyond the string type

[BryanWilhite]

when i see things like ngx-markdown and MarkdownTextBlock XAML Control the message seems clear to me that display text should support markdown

at the very least, i propose a new type, DisplayText, which would be a wrapper around string:

export class DisplayText {
    public content: string;
    public contentType: 'plain' | 'html' | 'markdown';
}

this class definition appears to be the most friendly towards translation into other languages like C#
