Unless I'm doing something really incorrectly or am misunderstanding something the text component when set to markdown does not appear to be rendering much markdown at all. Blank lines between paragraphs are not rendered and headings using ### are not respected (the pound signs are just displayed). Not sure if it may be something to do with binding to a text field in a retool database query or not. Kind of defeats the purpose of having a markdown text component it seems.
