Describe the Feature you'd like
The request is as in the title: a renderMarkdown option for the math view field. I've found the math field can be pretty nifty for basic text manipulation stuff, I've used it for a "★★★☆☆" style display for example. And for more advanced use cases (maybe adding coloring to those stars or using custom icons for example), a renderMarkdown option would make it even more flexible.
Currently, you can work around it by making a hidden math view bound to an intermediate property, and then displaying that intermediate property in a regular text view field that has renderMarkdown enabled. If that intermediate property's storage type is 'memory', it can even be pretty unobtrusive. But it's a little annoying.
