Research direction

Start by inspecting how poll descriptions and choices are rendered, especially the existing Markdown handling for descriptions. Determine the scope for rendering formatted text and pictures in choices, then verify that both editing and display behave as intended across the poll interface.

Description

⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️
Describe the goal you'd like to achieve

As a poll owner, I want to be able to show pictures in the choices, because it makes polling more convenient. I run a server for a photography club. For example, when we use the poll app to decide who will be the admitted into our photography club, it would be much more convenient if the poll app could display Markdown texts and the photos taken by the applicants directly.

Describe possible solutions

Currently it seems that only the "description" part of the whole poll is allowed to be formatted via Markdown. It would be great if the "choices" part can also have functions like "description" that supports Markdown and displays pictures.
