Can anyone shed some light on this?

basically you cannot post html, just plain text or plain text with wiki formatting arguments, which is like markdown

Hello Salman,

The fields you are posting the dat into are text fields, and have no way of guessing what the content type might be so it will not render HTML.

If you have the Text Fields configured as a Wiki style renderer which the description and comment fields should be by default, then you can use Wiki markup formatting for any formatting you are applying to the field.

i have tried using wiki markup formatting e.g. 

# First Item # Second Item 

and in result it renders

1. First item # Second Item

Any help will be appreciated

Hey Salman,

The Wiki markup for numbered lists is going to be line oriented and not an inline orientation

if you use:

# First Line
# Second Line

It will Render like this using markup:

1. First Line
2. Second Line
