Request to Add HTML Rendering Features to Markdown Widget

Hello.
I am writing to request additional features for the markdown widget.
As I understand it, the markdown widget does not support HTML rendering functionality due to security reasons (e.g., img src).
Would it be possible to support features that don’t violate security policies, such as
tags, table support using and tags (including row and column merging capabilities), and text color changes?
For reference,
new line break in markdown table
Thank you for reading this.

You could pass html into slate app that is embed in a workshop.

We have done this successfully a number of times… (Embedding slate)

You just have to wrangle slate, watch for excess padding in the html.

Another thing that I have done is create a custom widget that takes in raw HTML and just renders it. I have then enabled this to be used for a bunch of different workshop applications.
