How to apply formatting onto External Issues' rule description?

Hi,

I am currently working on importing external issues onto a SonarQube project. The external issues is working as intended.

But I would like to ask is there a way to format or create markdowns for the rule’s description? From what I have tested so far, it only accepts plain text.

What I am trying to achieve would look something like this:

where it could display variables or functions.

Hi,

Welcome to the community!

Are you creating a plugin, or simply using the Generic Issues Report format?

With a plugin, you should have full access to formatting. With the Generic Issues format, you’ve only got a string for the description.

Thank you for your answer, I am currently using Generic Issues Report format, so it seems like I can only use string for the rule description.
