Comment (by Carsten Fuchs):
Hello Adam, thanks for your reply!
I understand how this approach solves the problem, however it makes it
difficult to achieve visual consistency with the genuine `help_text`
attributes, because for that the Admin's HTML markup and styling must
carefully be accounted for and be reproduced in `format_html("…")`. It
also doesn't cover the double-use of the `help_text` in the tooltips in
the table column headers on the list pages.
Using `format_html()` as you suggested properly covers my use case. I also
understand that new features cannot be added lightheartedly to the Admin.
However, it still feels to me that this is a (albeit small) piece of
functionality that is missing.
