Image (?/Markdown) support

[arminulrich]

Thank you for Ray - I love it, and after a few days I use it for literally everything. 🤩

One thing I miss that would make it even more awesome would be the ability to send an image URL to ray (and display it right away):

ray()->image("https://placekitten.com/200/300")

or maybe in form of additional markdown support to get custom HTML into Ray:

ray()->markdown("![https://placekitten.com/200/300](https://placekitten.com/200/300)")

...
or just some form of "rich" snippet, that would turn URLs into clickable links?

ray()->richtext("https://placekitten.com/200/300"); 

what do you think?

EDIT:

maybe "HTML" support is be all we need, since everything else could be a ray() macro on top of that

Spatie\Ray\Ray::macro('image', function(string $image_url) {
  
    $this->sendHtml("<img src=" . $image_url . ">");
    
    return $this;
});

ray()->image("https://placekitten.com/200/300")

I think this could be useful. I'll submit a PR for image() to spatie/ray and we'll see if it gets accepted.

Update: See PR #170 in spatie/ray.
