[FR] Markdown support in place descriptions

[skrtskrt-ed]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Hey! Really enjoying TRIP so far.

I keep a fair bit of info in place descriptions (a short summary, address, phone, hours, a couple links), and adding markdown to the summary area would would be amazing.

Totally get it if it's out of scope. Love the app regardless!

Describe the solution you'd like

I noticed the description already renders through the linkify pipe into [innerHTML], so would it be possible to render descriptions as markdown instead of plain text + autolinked URLs? I think you could run the description through a markdown-to-HTML step (e.g. marked) before the existing AngularDomSanitizer, so it stays XSS-safe. Even just basic formatting —bold/italic, lists, and label links — would be so clutch.

Additional context

Could you implement it?

Maybe - I can try with guidance

Implementation plan (optional)

1. Add marked as a dependency.
2. Swap the linkify pipe for a markdown pipe: run the text through marked.parse() with gfm enabled (so bare URLs still autolink like today).
3. Keep the existing [innerHTML] binding since DomSanitizer already runs there
4. Apply it to place descriptions + trip notes.

I'd love for basic markdown support in descriptions and the trip notes too

Hi 👋,

Thank you @skrtskrt-ed for the idea, it was implemented in 1.46.0 so I'm closing this. Let me know if there is anything wrong with the current implementation.

Thanks 🤝
