Currently, Figma’s API exposes component description as a string
(https://www.figma.com/plugin-docs/api/properties/nodes-description/).
However, due to recent updates, the component description in the UI could be formatted with bold text, code, bullets, etc.
It would be very useful, to access this formatting via API. I think the simplest approach would be a markdown, but I’m aware that there are other options as well.
Fingers crossed for this idea to happen 🙂
