{ start: '**', end: '**', format: 'bold' } | **bold** | bold text |
{ start: '#', format: 'h1' } | # Heading | Heading 1 (<h1>) |
{ start: '##', format: 'h2' } | ## Heading | Heading 2 (<h2>) |
{ start: '###', format: 'h3' } | ### Heading | Heading 3 (<h3>) |
{ start: '####', format: 'h4' } | #### Heading | Heading 4 (<h4>) |
{ start: '#####', format: 'h5' } | ##### Heading | Heading 5 (<h5>) |
{ start: '######', format: 'h6' } | ###### Heading | Heading 6 (<h6>) |
