Description

I have a working VS extensions that responds to Hover requests with markdown contents; However, whatever I try, Visual Studio (2022) keeps displaying plain text.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Visual Studio 2022 extension behavior for LSP Hover responses and the linked Stack Overflow question. Determine whether Markdown hover content is supported and whether an enablement step is documented. Done means providing a confirmed support status and configuration guidance, or identifying the missing implementation area.
