adding comment and formatting with API Rest for azure Devops

Question

Hello, I'd like to add formatted comment with rest API in powershell.

I try this :

$comment = [System.Net.WebUtility]::HtmlEncode(" Here is a new file with relevant information: $DDJ Relevant Information #@$%^&*")

$commentwithmention = "<div><a href="#">@User</a>$comment</div>" #9c48ef54-c54b-6049-98ab-982453ed3e4c

$body = @{

"text" = $commentwithmention

} | ConvertTo-Json

it worked ! but i can't format the text. i'd like to add formatting, Strong and italics on the "$DDJ Relevant Information"

The HTML balises are not interpreted, event with the HTML encoding.

This is possible please ?
