Description
Brief description of your issue
Installation notes do not support markdown for bold text, this should be supported so installation notes can emphasis certain subsets of the text.
Sample manifest with markdown in an installation note.
Steps to reproduce
Install Microsoft.GDK.2306 or Microsoft.GDK.2303 via winget.
Expected behavior
Text surrounded by ** should be bold, or a bold equivalent to emphasis it.
Actual behavior
The "**"s appear without affecting the appearance of the text.
