Allow escaping underscores when typing with Markdown in prototype descriptions

I noticed while adding documentation in our prototype flows, that Figma detects Markdown a bit too good sometimes 😅

Provided recording below:

What I wanted to do:
Type something that is FORMATTED_LIKE_THIS

Instead, what I got:
The text renders into FORMATTINGLIKETHIS

Is it possible to have a preview mode for the description or just have a way to escape the underscore character in descriptions?

Thanks for the feedback!

We’ll pass this onto the team to investigate and work on a fix.
