Is it possible to format code in Visual Studio Team Services

Is there a means to format code snippets in any way, ideally a Markdown like syntax, in Visual Studio Team Services (formerly Visual Studio Online)?

Using italics just doesn't sit right with me.

Just found this extension from the feature request @eddie linked.

Markdown

Markdown is a custom work item form control, that allows you to edit the rich text fields on your work items with a Markdown enabled editor.

You can copy/paste formatted code from a html view. For example Google docs with the "Code pretty" AddOn or an online tool like http://www.manoli.net/csharpformat/ This way you can also change font size, family and color if you need. It looks like enter image description here

No, there is no way to achieve this feature. And there is already a feature request submitted for this on VSTS User Voice. You can vote it up here: Support markdown as an alternative to html for workitems.
