Use Markdown to style props description in the PropsTable

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. With addon-docs, it’s already possible to style the component description using markdown in the comment related to the component. Would it be possible to do the same for props description?

Describe the solution you’d like If I use the markdown syntax in the props comments, I would like to have the description styled accordingly in the PropsTable in the Docs tab.

Describe alternatives you’ve considered Not styling it? 😉

Are you able to assist bring the feature to reality? no

Additional context Here is an example of comment that would be nice once styled:

/**
 * The type of the date picker:
 *
 * * `simple` - Without calendar dropdown.
 * * `single` - With calendar dropdown and single date.
 * * `range` - With calendar dropdown and a date range.
 */

Jiminy cricket!! I just released https://github.com/storybookjs/storybook/releases/tag/v5.3.0-rc.8 containing PR #9307 that references this issue. Upgrade today to try it out!

You can find this prerelease on the @next NPM tag.

Closing this issue. Please re-open if you think there’s still more to do.
