[Feature Request] Expand Markdown support

[mm2270]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I've found that one or two common ways of using Markdown aren't supported in the popup text view.
For example, in Markdown, to make text both bold and italic, you add 3 asterisks before and after the text.

Example:

This text is bolded
This text is italicized
This text is both bolded and italicized

As you can see, this works on github, but in IBM Notifier, it seems to ignore the extra asterisk and just makes the text bold.

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to see some more Markdown be supported in future versions if this is possible to do. I believe another format for Markdown that isn't fully supported is numbered lists. I get very inconsistent results when trying to use it with IBM Notifier.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Using the html accessory view can be used as an alternative, but then if I want to use the html accessory view for something else, it complicates setting up the dialog.

Additional context
None

Hi @mm2270 to enable markdown support we use an open source library called SwiftyMarkdown. This library ease the translation from Markdown strings to Attributed Strings (the string format used inside macOS/iOS apps to format text). I see that this library already has a PR open about fixing this issue with the bolded and italicized text. In case they don't merge that PR we'll might think about forking it.

Ok thank you for the update!

I see the PR for that is 11 months old now. I wonder if someone is still maintaining that library. 🤔 Hopefully so.
