Research direction
The request centers on the st.markdown function and its use through st.write; start by tracing how those entry points process Markdown extensions. Define kwargs behavior that lets developers disable emoji shortcodes, LaTeX expressions, and colored text while retaining standard Markdown, then verify the resulting rendering.

Checklist

- I added a descriptive title and summary to this issue.
Summary
By default, we have some extensions to standard markdown enabled by default when developers use
the st.markdown function (thus when they call st.write on a string) that do things such as support
emoji shortcodes, allow LaTeX expressions, and support colored text. While these features are
useful, they do occasionally cause confusion for people that aren't expecting non-standard markdown
and can also be inconvenient when trying to render unformatted text. It'd be nice if we could support
st.markdown kwargs that allow users to disable these features.
