Feature Request: Addition of element_markdown() or something similar, to highlight part of the plot title or subtitle

[maxidiazbattan]

Hi to all, an interesting feature in ggplot, is element_markdown(), which enables formatting and styling of text elements in plots. This functionality is particularly useful for emphasizing specific portions of titles, subtitles, or annotations, improving the clarity and aesthetics of visualizations without relying heavily on legends.

For example, the attached plot demonstrates how element_markdown() can be used to highlight key elements in the title:

"Black-White" is styled in blue, "Hispanic-White" is styled in orange, making the information easier to interpret at a glance.
Additionally, the same technique can be applied to annotations within the plot, such as angled text or styled labels for specific data points.

Incorporating element_markdown() into Let’s-Plot would open up similar possibilities in Python, making the library a more versatile tool for creating presentation-ready visualizations.

Thanx, this is a great suggestion!

I suppose you are referring to element_markdown() in the ggtext package.

Hi Igor, thank you for taking the suggestion into account. To clarify, I am indeed referring to the element_markdown() from the ggtext package.
