simple functions like text links?

It would be great if the editor would allow basic markup like bold, link etc.

You can achieve this using Markup. enable markup on text block and use the markup syntax to make text bold

that is true but not optimal.

for one the markup crashes HARD on so many things, e.g. if you use variables in the designer like {{ json.data}} or dont close alt tags properly for links. the html widget is a mess.
i edit a new template, add some markup, all works, i download the json, upload it again the other day and no code is generated not to mention any kind of debug output - just because my alt tags were not nodeJS fave flavour.

I wish there were basic icons to quickly add styling to text (even if it's in mardown), much like you see on GitHub:

It would be one thing if you could use styling shortcuts (like CTRL + B for bold), but those don't work in EmailBuilder.js. I have to manually type out **bold text**

Totally understand but as you can see - seems this has not been under any active dev lately. your option is to clone this and add functionalities that suits your needs.
