monaco-json hover provider not interpreting markdown

[gempain]

Related to:

• Get access to JSON schema hover context #1798 opened by myself
• an unanswered SO question from someone else

The default JSON hover from monaco-json displays the JSON schema definition description corresponding to the hovered property. When the description contains markdown, it is interpreted as raw text. I am assuming this is due to the isTrusted property of Hover being set to false. Surprisingly, indents of 4 spaces are interpreted as code blocks.

Would it be possible to trust the JSON schema description ? Is this a bug or an intended feature ?

Keep up the great work !

As description is part of the standard JSON schema format we assume it is raw text.
For markdown descriptions, the VSCode/MonacoJSON language service looks for the property markdownDescription. That's not standardized, but if you don't mind, use it.

@aeschli thanks for the tip ! I didn't find this in the docs, but am glad to see this feature already exists.
