Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I use my contacts like a CRM in that I store more than the bare minimum about a few people, because I need to for work. This has necessitated that I organize it somewhat, so in lieu of having to move this information into dedicated documents linked to in the NOTE section for each person, I want to use Markdown directly in the NOTE section.

Describe the solution you'd like

Render Markdown in at least the NOTE section.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Render HTML.
