Expand content file types?

[peterh-capella]

I have a team that builds a large number of stand-alone content applications on a regular basis. The team members are all comfortable building HTML but only a few are familiar with markdown. In addition, some of the HTML can be fairly complex and require custom classes in order to inherit styling.

As an experiment, I took a sample chunk of HTML and added it to the /content directory of a Nuxt app that had the Content module added to it. Once I changed the file name to use .md instead of .html, the ContentDoc component pulled it in and rendered it as expected.

This seems like a bit of a hacky way to allow my team to use their HTML skills in creating their applications, so I have two questions:

1. Is there any concern with following this route?
2. Is there any interest in expanding the types of files recognized by Content to include HTML?
