Allow markdown formating in "Description"

[stranak]

Allow at least emphasis and code via ** and ``

See for instance this record that tries to use such formating: http://hdl.handle.net/11234/1-5672

What I'm thinking: We should be careful with that, when we officially support this shouldn't we somewhere express the different semantic, eg. by specifying text/markdown (https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7763). Should we drop the formatting in (oai-pmh) exports?

[stranak]

Hmm, those are good points. Especially the exports are something to worry about. If we supported e.g. tables in markdown, it could break into a complete garbage when formating is removed. We certainly do not want that.

Are there some precedents, or is metadata always and everywhere (by definition) plain text?

apparently zenodo allows markdown, but what do they do in exports?
