MarkdownUI Not Rendering Italic Text

[RizwanaDesai]

I'm encountering an issue where using asterisks (*) to wrap italic text, it doesn't render correctly in MarkdownUI. However, bold text does render properly when using double asterisks (**).

I expect text wrapped in single asterisks to display as italicized in MarkdownUI. I'm using custom font, and seems like i might be missing something in setting up custom font for markdown UI.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Input text surrounded by single asterisks, like text.
2. View the rendered MarkdownUI output.

Text wrapped in single asterisks(*) should display as italicized in MarkdownUI, just like bold text works when wrapped in double asterisks(**).
Any insights or suggestions on how to resolve this issue would be appreciated.
