[SpecFlow+ LivingDoc] Support Markdown in ErrorMessages to be rendered in generated HTML

Idea is originating from the following GH-issue:
[Question] LivingDoc - Generator Sources? · Issue #2296 · SpecFlowOSS/SpecFlow (github.com)

 

As a LivingDoc-user, I want that the content of a step´s ErrorMessages containing markdown are rendered accordingly, to leverage e.g. clickable links that lead me to my custom log-sink, in order to further investigate the root-cause of the failing step.

Scenario: ErrorMessage containing markdown are not rendered as "plain text"
Given a step´s assertion fails with the following message: 'The method or operation is not implemented. see log with id [123-456-789](https://www.google.de?q=123-456-789)'
When the LivingDoc is generated for the Scenario
Then the markdown link is rendered as 'The method or operation is not implemented. see log with id 123-456-789'
And the link opens in a new tab of my browser

See mockup:
