Description
Using formatting in the title of a note results in expected rendering: the font is downsized compared to the rest of the title, and inconsistent with how the iOS client behaves.
### Expected
I expected that applying formatting (bold, italic, etc) to the title of a note, would make that text **bold**, *italic*, etc without otherwise affecting the font size.
For example, here is how GitHub renders such formatting:
this markdown:
```
# foo **bar** *baz* bug
```
outputs:

### Observed
I observed that applying formatting (bold, italic, etc) to the title of a note, shrinks the size of the text to normal paragraph size, even though it is within the note title.

### Reproduced
It is 100% reproducible.
