Hi! you could try:

> **[Home](https://github.com/evbacher/gd2md-html/wiki)**
>
> Convert a Google Doc to Markdown or HTML. This Docs add-on (available in the Google Workspace Marketplace as Docs to Markdown) converts a Google Doc to simple Markdown and/or HTML. - evbacher/gd2md...

or copy/paste your text in another editor (libreofffice writer works) and from there bold and italics are preserved.
