API to include rich formatting for component description


marcinukleja

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 🙂

I’ve ran into this today. I understand that /n works for line breaks but I’m trying to figure out how the other styling options work. 🧐

Having access to the rich text formatting in the Figma Plugin API would be beneficial for my plugin as well.

My plugin would also like this feature, in particular the links!.
