Bold, Italic and Underline feature for the meeting chat

Product Requests and Ideas
#1

Hello everyone,
I wanted to work on the text styling feature (bold, italics, and underline) for the chat messages. But for that, I had some trouble styling the text in the span tag in the file
jitsi-meet/react/features/base/react/components/web/Message.js.
Could someone please help me in adding this feature?

Thank you

Welcome to the community!

How are you planning to let users apply the text formatting? Markdown?

FYI, there was an open PR for this that looked promising but not sure what the status of that is now: (feat) Implement Markdown and therefore code highlighting by NilsHullegien · Pull Request #8741 · jitsi/jitsi-meet · GitHub

Actually earlier I was trying to provide with separate buttons for different text formatting but I would even love to work with Markdown. I checked that issue. But it’s still an open issue.
