Convert custom sequences to html

[tvv91]

It's a question. Sorry, but I don't know, does it's available to declare custom sequences that will be converting to html tags?
What I mean. For example we have input text

/This text is now italic./ * And this text is bold. *

Does it possible (and how if yes) bind "/" and "*" chars to < i > and < b > tags? Output must be:
This text is now italic. And this text is bold.?

You would have to parse the string before you send it to marked or in a render method.

You can see an example of how to do that here: #1538 (comment) or here: #1538 (comment)
