Auto format Markdown text in QML textarea/text edit

[cebuger]

I am trying to implement the same feature as that of Slack where in a user can type a markdown text such as (asterisk asterisk) hello (asterisk asterisk) and it automatically converts to markdown version in the same TextArea.

I read the documentation and tested it and it doesnt do auto detect and replace,
so i was planning to listen to onTextChanged event and just reset the text but unfortunately, the Markdown format doesnt reflect.

if I type (asterisk)(asteriks) hello (asterisk) (asterisk), and reset it back to textArea.text = text

TextArea {
          id: mainText
          anchors.fill : parent
          textFormat: TextEdit.MarkdownText
     
           onTextChanged: {
                    mainText.text = text;
            }

Is there a way to do this in QML? im using 5.15. If not any suggestion on how to do this?
