Can i format the Note section of Email to have HTML in Docusign Templates?

I am trying to understand if I can add HTML elements to the note in DOCUSIGN template.

The reason is I want certain text of NOTE to be BOLD and certain to be regular characters.

Appreciate your help

Based on my testing, it's possible to specify BOLD text within a note by using the API, but not by using the DocuSign web console (UI).

For example, if I submit a "Create Envelope" API request with the following recipients structure -- including a recipient note that specifies BOLD text -- the bold text correctly renders both in the email that the recipient receives, as well as in the Note that's displayed to the recipient when they open the Envelope:

<recipients>
  <signers>
    <signer>
     <email>[email protected]</email>
     <name>John Doe</name>
     <recipientId>1</recipientId>
     <routingOrder>1</routingOrder>  
     <note>Test note with &lt;b&gt;BOLD text&lt;/b&gt;.</note>
     <tabs>
        <signHereTabs>
            <signHere>
                <documentId>1</documentId>
                <pageNumber>1</pageNumber>
                <xPosition>10</xPosition>
                <yPosition>100</yPosition>
            </signHere>
        </signHereTabs>
    </tabs>
    </signer>
  </signers>
</recipients>

DS note

However, using that same technique to specify bold text within a Note using the DocuSign web console (UI) doesn't work -- the text is NOT bold in either the email that the recipient receives or in the note they see within the Envelope itself. i.e., here's how I specified the Note via the DocuSign UI:

DS console note

And here's how it renders both in the email and in the Envelope for the recipient:
