What HTML markup is allowed in message?

[ishitam8]

The anchor tag is supported in the message text and a hyperlink is display in AzDevOps web pages but various formatting tags (bold, strong, font, span, div) are ignored and not rendered, although they are preserved in the message text when you list the messages.

Please update the docs to indicate which HTML markup is supported.

It would be very useful to allow formatting tags to be rendered.

This is a replacement for Azure/azure-cli-extensions#1057

@ishitam8 - could you help me understand the support limitations here?

Removing the bug tag since the functionality is intentional, but the documentation seems to be lacking.

@softwarecraft ,

I don't think complete formatting capabilities are available for message banners.
Can you please tell me the exact message you were looking for to be rendered?
I can check with the concerned team and ask them if there is any workaround.

Thanks

At the very least HTML anchor tag is supported, I've implemented that and it works.

It would be useful to support basic formatting, eg as listed in my issue (bold, strong, font, etc).

It is inconsistent to support HTML anchor tag and no other HTML or formatting. Why would you do that?

Either way, the docs should be explicit about what formatting is supported.
