I have a string from API request like this.

const test = **test**↵***nice***↵;

The "test" should be bold and "nice" should be bold and italic. I am using this code in my component but it shows the *.

    editorState: EditorState.createWithContent(
      ContentState.createFromText(nextProps.value)
    ),
});
