Markdown for deck descriptions is incomplete #19322
Description
Checked for duplicates?
- This issue is not a duplicate
Does it also happen in the desktop version?
- This bug does not occur in the latest version of Anki Desktop
What are the steps to reproduce this bug?
Currently the markdown support in deck descriptions is quite limited. It's a bit better on Anki Desktop though. For example, if you copy the following into a deck's description...
# H1
## H2
### H3
*italic* **bold** ~~strike~~ --strike-- ==highlighted== >!spoiler!< sup^4 sub_3 H~2~O

\(\sum_{-\infty}^{\infty}\)
$\sum_{-\infty}^{\infty}$(Remove the spaces between backticks. Also, I know that some of these syntaxes are nonstandard, but I just included them anyway)
...then you get this on Anki Desktop
while you get this on AnkiDroid
Expected behaviour
It should look like Anki Desktop, except for the image support which was supposedly added in #18748.
Somewhat related to #6669.

(Optional) Anything else you want to share?
I thought about making a suggestion for Anki Desktop to improve its markdown support for deck descriptions, but I figured it wouldn't be accepted.
Research
- I have checked the manual and the FAQ and could not find a solution to my issue
- (Optional) I have confirmed the issue is not resolved in the latest alpha release (instructions)
