New Composer: Round trip through editing is not consistent. #10725

Open

Description

Round tripping through the composer and edit window is not consistent:

_italic_ -> *italic*

> quote ->

>
quote

***both*** -> *both* #! this has lost the bolding. -> #17610

While I understand that some of these are synonyms for each other, it's a bit confusing that the examples don't line up with how the composer re-renders text.

Steps to reproduce

Type this in the edit window per instructions in the reallysmalltext
round_trip1
Send this:
round_trip2
Edit it and get this?
round_trip3

    The orignal example just happens to work now _italic_ -> *italic* ✅ but the opposite doesn't *italic* -> _italic_ ❌

    The > quote example is also still relevant.

    The both italic and bold problem is separately being tracked by #17610 and was also reported in #11477
