Answers.Body: <p>If you're talking about a field on a public-facing profile, you can add a profile "field" of type "Formatting", which can be HTML-formatted.  See screenshot.</p>
  
  <p>If you ARE committed to hacking this, I'd do so by inserting a jQuery script into an .extra.tpl file.</p>

Answers.Text: No I am talking about the Help text of any custom contact field. The help text is always unformatted and therefore hard to read for the user. I would like to introduce <ol><li> but the help text of a custom field does not accept this.

  If you're talking about a field on a public-facing profile, you can add a profile "field" of type "Formatting", which can be HTML-formatted. See screenshot.
  
  If you ARE committed to hacking this, I'd do so by inserting a jQuery script into an .extra.tpl file.
