Add the ability to set and parse HTML/CSS #2

Adding the ability to set and parse HTML/CSS would be very helpful to make organizing instructions much easier. For example I would make fields H1's, p and li tags to further structure instructions, and add em and strong tags within the field descriptions to highlight things like URLs, callout naming conventions, etc.

By default, you can write field instructions in Markdown and then they get parsed to HTML. http://cl.ly/image/432V3G2a3M1W. Is that what you're looking for?

Also, I could see adding a CSS override field at some point, similar to NSM Publish Hints.

Markdown is fine (preferable even) and I was not aware it did that. I'll give it a shot.

As for the CSS, that is exactly what I was looking for. I would recommend looking at how Control Panel CSS (https://github.com/lindseydiloreto/craft-cpcss) does this. They allow you to set a link to a file (even allows {siteUrl} in the path to keep it environmentally friendly) or paste the styles into a text area field.

Using markdown, but would like to also use some HTML. Is that possible? Mainly want to add images and links that can be opened in a new window.
