What happened?

Hello!

I am attempting to input a markdown table into text widget, e.g.:

### Text Widget

| Column1              | Column2   |
|--------------------|------------|
| Text Field     | Numeric Value      |

Expected Output:

Text Widget

Column1 Column2
Text Field Numeric Value

Actual's Ouput:

I have tested in two client versions, electron v25.3.1 and firefox v25.4.0, both with server version v25.4.0, same outcome.

Thank you so much for your amazing work ❤

  1. click 'Add new widget', select 'Text widget' on reports dashboard
  2. click 'Edit dashboard' button
  3. Edit Text widget contents (right click, 'edit content')
  4. click 'Finish editing dashboard' button

@mrpotatocode Looks like we need to add remark-gfm plugin since react-markdown is what's being used: MarkdownCard.tsx

Here's an example that explains it.
