I expect all markdown renders to be able to support basic HTML fragments (link, table, image, etc), a-la Github’s markdown renderer. For example, Lettera doesn’t render the images at the top of this markdown file.

If I’m not mistaken, the image is an SVG, and Lettera doesn’t come with SVG support. Also, http/https links are not resolved by design.
I agree that HTML rendering is an expected feature of a markdown editor. Most editors do this in preview mode instead of WYSIWYG, but part of the value of lettera is the latter, so I feel like it needs to do HTML just like it does mathjax.
An example of how I would use html rendering is <figure> tags, which give me more control over figure presentation in terms of positioning and captions. This is essential if I am to use lettera for academic writing.
One last note- SVG is the most popular open-source vector file format and I recommend supporting it as an alternative to bitmap images.
