+/**Helper function for using Markdown in grainjs elements. It accepts
+ * both plain Markdown strings, as well as methods that use an observable.
+ * Example usage:
+ *
+ *    cssSection(markdown(t(`# New Markdown Function
+ *      We can _write_ [the usual Markdown](https: *markdownguide.org) inside
+ *      a Grainjs element`)));
+ *
+ * or
+ *
+ *   cssSection(markdown(use => use(toggle) ? t('The toggle is **on**') : t('The toggle is **off**'));
+ *
+ * Markdown strings are easier for our translators to handle, as it's possible
+ * to include all of the context around a single markdown string without
+ * breaking it up into separate strings for grainjs elements.
