Render HTML in all tables, titles, subtitles.

The customisations in Spotfire are very limited.  There is no support for custom icons and the built in icons are very basic.  We launched our more popular product to our customers (http://www.eroad.co.nz/au/landing/leaderboard/) which requires us to generate a table of stars.

In a table form this was possible by referencing an external URL, but then we can't tie actions to the table.  So instead we had to use a graphical table and write some javascript to constantly overwrite a special text code with the correct HTML for the star material icon.  Even if we place the HTML as an entry in the table, without the javascript, Spotfire renders it as text.  Using Jquery we had to basically read the HTML and insert it again.

If Spotfire could render HTML in all tables, even small things like <i class="material-icons">done</i> would enable developers to access a large library of icons, or link to images, or place buttons in tables.
