Description
I'm using EmmyLua to document different color's in a library. It would be nice if colors could be shown visually in VSCode.
Perhaps allow a limited set of html tags?

local Colors = {
--- <span style="color:#0000FF">Blue</span>
Blue = 2
--- <span style="color:#FF0000">Red</span>
Red = 3
}
