This feature is a request that were asked multiple times in the forum:
Description
Add new markup for bold and italic text. This could be achieved but using markup like this:
- "The last word will be in [b]bold[/b]"
- "The last word will be in [i]italic[/i]"
Part of a solution
Maybe, this can be achieve by giving the font for each version (regular.ttf, bold.ttf, italic.ttf)
