Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The widget can not render certain markdown features like tables, images, monospace fonts, checkboxes (at least not correctly), Strike-through, Codeblocks etc.
As a result, the note looks completely different and not correct in the widget.

Research direction
Start by locating the widget's markdown rendering and the in-app rendering engine, then compare which features each supports. Reproduce the widget with tables, images, monospace text, checkboxes, strikethrough, and code blocks; done means these render consistently with the in-app note view.
