why would you want markdown rendered in the preview? the preview is so short, you’re very likely to get partial markdown blocks. why would i want a partial block rendered in the preview? it’s good enough to know that a comment exists, and then i can click on the notification to get to the observation to see the whole thing, formatted properly, in context.

Hi Jakob, special formatting tends to be intentionally removed in views like this, so this likely isn’t a bug.
