Adds formatted Markdown notes to the canvas, with headings, lists and clickable links.

Labels explain component roles, operating conditions, and the assumptions behind a diagram. Keeping interpretation beside the relevant hardware helps readers distinguish measured parameters from illustrative choices.
In OpticalSetup
Place a text label and double-click it, press Enter when selected, or use Edit text to edit on the canvas. Markdown supports headings, lists, emphasis, and code; web and DOI addresses become clickable links. The font-size and color controls set its base appearance.
The example demonstrates several formatting styles. Keep a short explanation beside the setup and use a link for longer background material. Text grows from its left anchor, while resizing changes the base font size.
Text is diagram-only and never changes traced rays or scene parameters. Writing a wavelength, efficiency, or model claim in a label does not configure the corresponding optical element.
