This would be nice to have :) Look at the DocumentationComment type for where the IDE takes the xml text and processes it.
This needs to go to a design meeting. I have an objection to merging/shipping an implementation prior to design approval and adoption in the language specification.
See dotnet/csharplang#891 for the language design issue.
I agree that supporting Markdown (and possibly also some simple syntax for XML elements that don't have counterparts in Markdown) is a great idea. But it should be done all at once in a systematic manner, not "add backquotes, then some other syntax, then another, and end up with complex, undocumented mess".
During a design meeting today, we determined that this feature can't really move forward until at minimum one of the following occurs:
The implementation of the second item does not guarantee that the feature will be implemented without support from the language specification; should that situation arise will again consider the available design proposals to decide if the issue should remain blocked.
