Description
JSDoc descriptions support Markdown formatting but we don't highlight it.
Example:
/**
* @description
* hello world
* ```ts
* export declare type = number;
* ```
* @default 1
*/
var data = 1;

The code block should be highlighted but isn't.
This will likely require significant changes to Markdown.
