Support full Github Flavored Markdown in feature Files

Hi, I'm very happy about your support for Markdown Comments in Feature Files, 

but there are certain Differences that make them incompatible with other Documentation Frameworks like e.g. DocFX - static documentation generator | DocFX website (dotnet.github.io)

For example MarkDown Tables have a separate |-- |-- Row to split Headers from the Table Body and control Alignment, but in feature Files these are seen as Data. 

There is a Feature of the Gherkin Parser to support full Markdown:  [common/MARKDOWN_WITH_GHERKIN.md at main · cucumber/common (github.com)] Its idea is that the Features are written in *.feature.md Files and the Gherkin Parser switches to an alternative Lexer. 

 

I would like to know if and when SpecFlow would support this. 

Thank you for your great Tooling

  This would be a very, very useful feature given the prevalence of Markdown in the software development industry. This topic arose for me when evaluating the use of SpecFlow and BDD for an upcoming project I recently tweeted about.
