Formatting on bio field in People module about network-api

[cadecairos]

@hannahkane we determined that the bio field would just be a single text field on the back-end, without any kind of markdown formatting.

@gvn @alanmoo Have we given thought to how this will work on the front end?

Is there any reason we couldn't store markdown in that field? If so, we can do a conversion to HTML on the client.

We can store markdown. It's just bad UX though since you're entering markdown in a textarea essentially.

[hannahkane]

It might not be the best longterm solution, but I think I'd prefer it at this point, if the alternative is rewriting all the bios so that they make sense without bullet points.

@hannahkane so, you can add markdown in the text currently. The front-end would just need to add code to interpret that.

Thanks, @gideonthomas. Closing this here. Commented in relevant front-end issue.
