I write IT tech stuff, and some of my headings are much more easily grepped when they adequately use the inline `<code>`elements. Yep, even my subheadings’ titles, sometimes.

However, in Zola, it looks like the `Heading` currently only has `title` be a plain `String`. I’d very much like to have access to the original Markdown fragment (maybe?), so I could do something like:

```django
<a href="{{- h2.permalink | safe -}}">{{- h2.title_raw | markdown(inline=true) -}}</a>

```

I suppose it would be possible, but would want to check in with the community first regarding whether it’s at all desirable: there must have been a reason why this functionality was built the way it is in the first place!

What do you think?
