Description
Description
The old editor had these buttons to help with "markdown" formatting (note, it's not really markdown, but anyway):
We'd like these added to the new editor, too.
Status
There is PR which got most of the way to implementing this, but the author abandoned it: https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-authoring/pull/2456
Any contributor could start with that PR's branch, factor in Brian's review feedback, and I think it'd be good to merge.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the abandoned PR #2456 and Brian's review feedback, then compare the old editor's formatting buttons with the new editor. Use that PR branch as the entry point; the work is done when the new editor provides the requested formatting buttons and the reviewed implementation is ready to merge.
