QLDoc view omits `<code>` HTML elements

[Marcono1234]

Describe the bug
According to the language specification QLDoc uses CommonMark, which supports raw HTML.

It appears that the VSCode extension supports HTML entity references (e.g. *), and for some HTML elements simply shows their content without any special formatting (e.g. <b>bold</b>).

However, <code> elements are apparently completely omitted, not even their content is shown:

My use case is that I would like to write /** ... */ (a Javadoc comment) in a QLDoc, however */ is recognized as end of the QLDoc. Therefore the only workaround might be to use <code>/** ... &ast;/</code>.
But this is not super important, I could probably also just omit */ from my QLDoc comment.

To Reproduce

1. In a query file write the following QLDoc comment or add it to an existing element

   /**
    * Test <code>code</code> &ast;/ <b>bold</b> <i>italic</i>
    */
   

2. Hover over the QLDoc
   ❌ The text "code" is completely missing from the shown rendered QLDoc

Expected behavior

• At least the content of the <code> element should be shown in the rendered QLDoc (similar to how it is the case for <b>)
• Or ideally the content of the <code> element is shown and formatted as code

Additional context
The LGTM Query Console seems to support <code> and even formats the text as code in the preview when hovering over a documented element:

Vscode doesn't support non-span tags in markdown and we pass the markdown directly to vscode so this will be tricky to support. See microsoft/vscode#110945 for the upstream issue.

Thanks for the information! Feel free to close this issue then if you think VSCode should fix this issue, unless you want to perform some pre-processing.
