Formatting for Update feeds

It would be helpful to have formatting options available for use in updated feeds such as bullet points, underlines, bold, etc. It would be SUPER helpful to be able to copy and paste text from another source and maintain the formatting.

Or even just use a pretty monspace font for all comments so that everything just looks as it should.

Open Source Options:

CODE! with a monospace font such as courier so that something like this looks correct:

| Animal | Color | Size |
| :----- | :------------ | :----- |
| mouse | grey | small |
| fox | red | medium |
| cow | white & black | large |



Even trying to paste it in and format paragraph style as "Code" doesn't work properly in this site.

The ability to either paste in code or format code text in the description and updates would be great for our software engineers!

Formatting the description would also be helpful.. copying and pasting and having the original formatting stick that is. Thanks!

All in favor of formatting within updates - just like the formatting box drops at the top of this text box when you start to write. Please do this!!

It would also be super helpful to be able to have formatting for tables and code snippets in updates.
