Describe the bug Help text contains HTML elements that are not styled. The HTML sent down the client looks like this:

But renders like this:

Looking at the styles pane in DevTools, I see that list-style has been set to none globally, with no override for .helptext.

I haven't figured out yet if this is particular to lists or general to styling.
list-style:none is set in shared-css.js, so it applies to the whole app currently.
I can see it making sense to have list bullets in help text, however the width available for the initial part of the help is pretty narrow, so the bullets would need to be fairly condensed. And, we'd need to check to make sure that line wraps look good.
I'm aware of those concerns. I don't need formatting for many things, but sometimes I do.
This problem got resolved. I see the bullet items in the help for that form field now.
