markdownDescription is not respected in extensions' contributions tabs #88927

Description

VSCode extends the JSON schema for extension settings with a markdownDescription property which takes priority over a normal description. This seems to be why all the descriptions are missing on the "contributions" tab of the Haxe extension:

If I Ctrl+F-replace all the usages with a regular description, it looks good:

Note: if it's too much trouble, it's probably fine to just render markdown descriptions as plain text here, as long as they're rendered at all.


To reproduce:

"contributes": {
	"configuration": [
		{
			"title": "custom settings",
			"properties": {
				"test": {
					"markdownDescription": "Hello `World`",
					"type": "boolean",
					"default": false
				}
			}
		}
	]
}
