at the moment the video-html5-tag is removed from markdown when it's rendered to html5 page, can we keep it so that we can embed video files directly in markdown and watch it from gitea?

It seems like it's not possible to embed a video in markdown. The workaround is pretty bad tbh and does not work as intended with local files: [![video](data/thumbnail.png)](data/video.mp4) won't link to the raw video but instead to the gitea page of the video resource. Workaround to the workaround:
[![video](data/thumbnail.png)](../../../raw/branch/master/data/video.mp4)

@laoshaw can you test if this is still the case?

[![video](data/thumbnail.png)](data/video.mp4) will jump to a new gitea page and you can play video.mp4 from there, so not direct embed video in gitea but a workaround.

for [![video](data/thumbnail.png)](../../../raw/branch/master/data/video.mp4) it does not jump to a new page, instead it downloads the file directly.

the best still will be "video" tag support, before then I will use the first option here to get by.
