Bug Description

Some apps, like Birdie, use markup text to give format to the notification text, but pantheon-notify doesn't seem to render it!

I am afraid this will be very hard to fix. Pantheon Notify uses a Clutter.Text object to store the notification text. Clutter.Text admits Pango markup, which seems not to support the "href" tag (https://developer.gnome.org/pango/unstable/PangoMarkupFormat.html).

If you ever saw hyperlinks working in a Gtk.Label, it's because Gtk.Label admits "href" tags in addition to Pango markup.

I got confirmation that <href> tags aren't supported by Clutter.Text.

However, Pango markup works just fine.

summary: - Markup text is not rendered
+ Doesn't parse href tags.
