[Feature Request] edit table and column comments using textarea instead of input?

[mmokross]

Is it possible to change using a <textarea> instead of <input> for editing table and column comments on Alter table? I want to be able to put in some longer documentation using Markdown to be rendered by an internal page.

I had a look in plugin.php but couldn't find a proxy for this to create an explicit plugin for this.

Thinking more about it, there should be these proxies

• editComment() to render then input field for comments
• renderComment() to render the content of comments

Brainstorming about alternative ways to render comments

1. transforming the text
   • just plain text as it is
   • transform from Markdown text (which library?)
   • use a closure as constructor parameter, which transforms the text
2. output the transformed text
   • just output
   • add a button to open an html dialog with the comment
   • using the title attribute
