feature request: allow html in react-markdown and/or support github markdown (or remark-gfm)

[darenr]

the text component is very limiting as-is, it would be super useful it you added plugins to the markdown react component so it would allow html and the github markdown syntax, or at least gfm so I can use tables.

I'd adding my own dashboard reports using this markdown format.

Thanks for reporting @darenr!

Do I understand correctly that you have already tried using the existing options (headers, lists), as shown in the example https://github.com/evidentlyai/evidently/blob/main/examples/data_stories/nyc_taxi_data_drift_dashboard_customization.ipynb?

Otherwise, indeed Evidently currently does not support additional markdown inside the text field.

Unfortunately, we cannot focus on the UI updates right now (though there is a huge backlog of known issues, and it does require a significant rework). We are going through an API update and focus first on the core calculation components. But we expect to get there eventually!

Also happy to take contributions here!
