is it possible to insert comments in a julia formatted as md. I’ve heard that something as my following example is possible, and when you hover the mouse over the md text it appears formated.

```Julia

"""
# Simple Markdown Title

## Subheading
This is a simple test of Markdown formatting.
"""
println("Testing Markdown tooltips.")

```

Functions and structs can:

```julia
"""
# Simple Markdown Title

## Subheading
This is a simple test of Markdown formatting.
"""
function foo(str)
    println(str)
end

```

Hovering over `foo` gives you formatted pop up.

`println("Testing Markdown tooltips.")` is a statement and it does not work.
