Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It is difficult for newcomers to learn markdown and time taking to type out the syntax yourself especially on Android.

Describe the solution you'd like
Support for Slash Commands like in Outline's Rich Markdown Editor would be an out of the world feature!
Github repo for Outline's Rich Markdown Editor (maybe you can copy the feature from there?) - https://github.com/outline/rich-markdown-editor
Demo of the editor to see what slash commands look like: https://rich-markdown-editor-demo.onrender.com/?path=/story/editor--default

This makes it really easy to use MD, I find the Android app unusable without this because it's time consuming to type out everything yourself.
