How to change the type of markdown bold symbol from ** to __?

[stefaniecg]

In a markdown document, when i press cmd+b it inserts **<word>** to bold the word.
I want to change it to insert __<word>__.
Is there a way to configure this?

I'm using this package: https://web.pulsar-edit.dev/packages/markdown-writer

The wiki for the package says that it can be configured in your config.cson. The example is for italic text, but I'm guessing it would work just as well for bold text:

'markdown-writer':
  'textStyles':
    'bold': 'before': "__", 'after': "__"

Here's a refresher on editing your config.cson manually. Always a good idea to make a quick backup just in case you make a mistake.
