Bug: @returns tag missing in generated markdown

[m1rn]

What package is the bug related to?

typedoc-plugin-markdown

Describe the issue

Description:

When using typedoc with the typedoc-plugin-markdown extension, the generated markdown content omits the @returns tag from the documentation comments. This results in incomplete documentation, as the @returns information is crucial for understanding the return value of functions and types.

Expected Behavior:

The markdown documentation should include the content from the @returns tag, as it does when generating HTML using the base typedoc setup. The @returns description should be visible under each type that has it documented.

Actual Behavior:

The @returns tag and its description are missing entirely from the generated markdown output.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Set up a TypeScript project with typedoc and typedoc-plugin-markdown.
2. Include a type with a @returns tag in the doc comments.
3. Run the typedoc command to generate markdown documentation.
4. Check the generated markdown for the missing @returns section.

Environment:

• typedoc version: 0.26.7
• typedoc-plugin-markdown version: 4.2.8
• TypeScript version: 5.5.4
• Node.js version: 5.5.4

Additional Context:

This issue may cause incomplete documentation for users who rely on markdown output for their TypeScript projects. It would be helpful to ensure all relevant tags, including @returns, are properly processed in the markdown output.
