 **Challenge:** The current "Biographical Info" field in user profiles only
 supports plain text. Many site owners and content teams want to provide
 basic structure or emphasis in author bio, but they cannot use any
 formatting such as bold, italic, links, or simple lists. This limitation
 is not ideal for non-technical users.

 **Potential Solution:** Introduce minimal rich-text support for the
 Biographical Info field by replacing the plain <textarea> with a TinyMCE-
 powered classic editor instance. The formatting options can remain
 intentionally limited (e.g., bold, italic, links, bullet/numbered lists)
 to maintain simplicity.
