Feature Request: Support HTML and CSS in Views
Goal is to encourage developers to use the well known HTML and CSS syntax in creating their views. Inline or external link to JavaScript can be ignored for now to have some security in place. Alexa's APL is actually using JSON and has some styling support close to CSS. But why still limit what's possible, allowing at least 90% support for HTML5 and CSS3 would make all developers happy. Not all developers can easily learn Bixby Views and EL (some might not be willing too so they just go away).
I believe Rhino is the JavaScript engine so I'm guessing the backend implementation is really using Java? If that's the case, I guess use Freemarker as the templating engine to support HTML and CSS would be the best way to go.
Or if HTML/CSS can really not be added as code in the Views, just allow a remote static HTML page render nicely by simply providing a URL to it. Basically, similar to a WebView in Android. Images already supports that so it's time for static HTML pages to join the fun too!
