the real question is should it work?

you can just use markdown and not mark anything down after all...

@SinclairChenb4ba Yeah but maybe the person implementing the API isn't reading our docs so carefully...

Conceivably we could fail with an error and ask them to use descriptionMarkdown instead? Don't feel too strongly either way

@SinclairChenb4ba Strongly feel that a string description should work. Nearly anyone creating a market via the api would try a string description first and expect it to work.
