Description
Think about whether it's worth adding blocks which consist of user-authored Markdown content. This could be implemented using the md helper in gpii handlebars.
Make sure to account for possible cross-site scripting attacks:

2020-04-14T17:41:48.670-0400 That's the easiest option from a coding perspective 🙂 Should we document this feature somewhere in the site? I.e. on text blocks there could be something that says "Markdown supported" or similar, perhaps with a link to a brief cheat sheet or tutorial.

2020-07-14T12:04:38.394-0400 Thanks Gregor Moss this is great. I don't think we'd want to have links in the description or alt-text, but I'm thinking we should allow them in headings.
