As a forum mod for @nateliason& #39;s Roam course and an active participant in @fortelabs& #39; BASB community, I see a lot of excitement for @RoamResearch!

However, one of the major pain points that students have is trying to "progressive summarize" in Roam...
Roam doesn& #39;t parse the markdown correctly when links or highlights are within bold sections:
 **bold ^^bold highlight^^ bold**

A workaround is to wrap the double carets in asterisks:
 **bold **^^**bold highlight**^^** bold**

I wrote a roam/js script to add a keyboard shortcut
PC: Ctrl + Shift + H
Mac: Cmd + Shift + H

Normally, Ctrl/Cmd+H adds ^^ to highlight.
With this, also pressing Shift will add **^^** to highlight in a bolded section.

Here& #39;s the link for the code and instructions on the unofficial Roam Depot Devs graph: https://roamresearch.com/#/app/roam-depot-developers/page/qIMQKcZh7">https://roamresearch.com/...
