In VS Code I have set a break point on new-externalHelp but the important part is in the function GetMamlModelImpl which has a line $model = $p.ParseString($mdText, $parseMode, $_) (1605 in the .PSM1 file for v 0.14.2 )
After this line has run examine $model.children[17].spans[-5..-1] | ft style,text -Wrap

Expected behavior
The description part of Get-Help Get-Help looks similar to what is displayed at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/get-help?view=powershell-7.2#description i.e.
>[!NOTE]

> the module is imported into the current session. This is a known issue. To get About articles

Actual behavior
It displays as
>[!NOTE] > In PowerShell 3.0 and PowerShell 4.0, `Get-Help` can't find About articles in modules unless > the module is imported into the current session. This is a known issue. To get About articles > in a module, import the module, either by using the `Import-Module` cmdlet or by running a cmdlet > that's included in the module.
