Can't alias a hyperlink in the output of build_table()

[abshomali]

The build_table function is able to handle outputting a clickable hyperlink, but if you try and alias that link as another string, the functionality doesn't seem to work. This use case is handled in the Pandas to_html method using the escape=False flag.

Example below.

This code works fine.

import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame()
my_url =  'https://google.com'
df[url] = my_url
build_table(df, 'blue_light')

But the code below just outputs the exact text of my_url_alias (including the "<a" tag and "href") instead of outputting the word "Click" that is clickable as a hyperlink.

import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame()
my_url = 'https://google.com'
my_url_alias = '<a href="https://google.com"> Click </a>'
df[url] = my_url_alias
build_table(df, 'blue_light')

The second use case can accomplished in the native Pandas to_html() method using the following code:

import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame()
my_url = 'https://google.com'
my_url_alias = '<a href="https://google.com"> Click </a>'
df[url] = my_url_alias
df.to_html(escape=False)

Hello @abshomali,
Let me take a look at this.

I included the escape option, could you try it out now and let me know?
default is escape=True
