Bold text in todo.txt

[page200]

⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️

• [x] This is a enhancement/feature request. Not a bug or question.
• [x] The topic is not already reported at Issues. (I've searched it).
• [x] Markor is up to date. See Releases for the latest version. Updates are available from F-Droid and GitHub.
• [x] The wanted feature/enhancement is not present in the latest development version (git master). (Please download and try the test version of Markor, named Marder. Don't worry; Markor and Marder appear as completely separate applications. You can install both side-by-side, and Markor's settings are not touched. If your desired feature is present, you don't need to open this issue. The change will be part of the next Markor update.)

Description

In "Settings" -> "todo.txt" under "Syntax highlighting", please add a checkbox "Bold text like in Markdown".

Example use case: If the user surrounds the most important word or phrase in each task by asterisks and that's rendered as bold text like in Markdown, this would allow skimming the list of tasks much faster.

Does any other todo.txt software support this?
todo.txt is intentionally simple by design with little syntactic sugar.

I used https://github.com/ransome1/sleek and it supports this. But it isn't available on Android.

The suggestion doesn't contradict the todo.txt format, it just offers users an alternative option for rendering it better.

It also doesn't lock users into Markdown because Markdown is human-readable.
