Markdown widget #741

Suggested new feature or improvement

I want to create a widget that hosts static markdown provided by the user.

Scenario

I want to create widgets that show various stats for each of my projects. Shields.io already provides a lot of the building blocks I'm looking for, it's just a matter of bringing them together for each project.

I doubt anyone would create a widget that does exactly what I'm looking for since it tends to span across multiple services. For example, I may track issues on GitHub, run my CI in Azure Dev Ops, and publish to the Visual Studio Marketplace. A markdown widget would let me bring all of this information together into a single view.

Additional details

Here's an example of what I want to accomplish:

EF Core

nuget downloads contributors issues pull requests commit activity tests
