Sounds like what you want is Markdown. So you can do something like this.

> Please, PLEASE, for the love of god, allow us to use Markdown in tasks and comments in Asana. It’s more or less the lingua franca for developers who need to write formatted text on the web at this point and it’s very very frustrating to have to rely on 2000s-style rich text in this tool. Come on, even the community platform that I’m submitting this feature request through supports markdown! irony
