Replace text to make markdown or formatting – Html

I want to replace *hello* to hello how will i be able to do that? and the same but with other prefixes

let content = '*Hello*, my **friend** how are you?'

      function formatString(content) {
        let step1 = content.split(" ").join(" ").replaceAll("nn", "</br></br>");
        //replace
      }
      formatString(content)//should return '<i>Hello</i>, my <b>friend</b> how are you?'

I tried using regex but I was only able to replace *string* to string only instead of string

    the replaceAll method with the regex /*(.?)*/g to replace all occurrences of string with string, and /**(.?)**/g to replace all occurrences of string with string. The g flag makes sure that all occurrences are replaced, not just the first one.

    let content = '*Hello*, my **friend** how are you?'

function formatString(content) {
  let step1 = content.split(" ").join(" ").replaceAll("nn", "</br></br>");
  let step2 = step1.replaceAll(/*(.*?)*/g, "<i>$1</i>");
  let step3 = step2.replaceAll(/**(.*?)**/g, "<b>$1</b>");
  return step3;
}

console.log(formatString(content))

    You could use the ShowdownJS library to handle Markdown to HTML conversion.

    let content = '*Hello*, my **friend** how are you?';
const converter = new showdown.Converter();
let res = converter.makeHtml(content);
console.log(res);
    <script src="https://unpkg.com/showdown/dist/showdown.min.js"></script>
