Forked from #29151:

As I'm sure you are aware, note that Go doc strings are not Markdown but rather have their own minimalistic formatting. For them to display with formatting correctly they will need to be converted to Markdown before returning them if we want them to show up formatted in the editor correctly. See microsoft/vscode-go#2245 where I implemented this transformation albeit in JS and here it is needed in Go.

do you still need a port of the ts markdown escape?

I would like to finish this issue, I have a branch with a comment.go and comment_test.go. I wanted to add the tests to tests/ but it tested some private functions as well that shouldn't really be exported.
I think it would be better to merge it with go/doc/comment.go but that would take another release cycle.

If you'd like to contribute your change to gopls, please send us a CL so we can review it. We can discuss on the CL if it's something that should be merged into go/doc. In either case, the x/tools repo has to be compatible with older Go versions, so even if it makes it into 1.14, we would probably have to use a copy in x/tools for a few more cycles.

For some reason CL 197760 wasn't associated with this issue. Closing as it has been merged now.
