Maybe I overthink this, but I wonder if it would make sense to specify
an optional content-type argument instead of a markdown-capable element.
That way, eldoc could potentially handle raw html texts as well.
Additionally, this would support different markdown variants.  And I'm
sure gnus/eww already has some helper functions that eldoc could reuse.
