Wiring the toggle bold menu

Finally, let's wire the command with the toggle-bold functionality:

1. The markdown editor component we are using for this application provides multiple functions that developers can invoke from code. One of those functions is toggleBold(). Our code can check the content of the message, and if it's the toggle-bold one, it will run the corresponding component function:

      if (arg === 'toggle-bold') {        editor.toggleBold();      } 

2. The whole script section should look as follows:

      <script>            var editor = new SimpleMDE({              element: document.getElementById('editor')            });            const { ipcRenderer } = require('electron');            ipcRenderer.on('editor-event', (event, arg) => {              console.log(arg); event.sender.send('editor-reply', `Received ${arg}`); ...
