Most of the time I need to view the raw text rather than markdown rendered. Currently I wrap the generated text with <pre> and </pre> to avoid symbols being interpreted as style markers, but because the text is generated by a RNN, it sometimes contains </pre> itself to break the whole thing.

I believe a checkbox on Tensorboard that turns off Markdown would be really helpful to many people, and it shouldn't be much work, since displaying text without formatting seems a much easier job than markdown rendering.
