Load markdown text into the Xamarin.Forms Label

Recently, Xamarin.Forms Label has support for FormattedText. So I want to use that FormattedText property to load the markdown text. For example,

I have below kinds of markdown text,

 1. **Hi**, How are you?
 2. Hello **John**, _Good Morning_

I want to automatically convert the markdown text like above into the FormattedString to set to the Label.FormattedText.

Could anyone help me to achieve this?

Note: I don't want to go for third party MarkdownView controls since they are heavy-weight control and having some issues on rendering the UI when I checked on Xamarin.Forms iOS.

Finally, I wrote my own parsing and converted the markdown text into the FormattedString.

public static FormattedString GetFormattedString(this string text, double defaultFontSize)
    {
        var boldFormat = "**";
        var italicFormat = "_";
        var formatString = new FormattedString();
        var temp = text;
        while(!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(temp))
        {
            try
            {
                var boldIndex = temp.IndexOf(boldFormat);
                var italicIndex = temp.IndexOf(italicFormat);

                if (italicIndex >= 0 && (italicIndex < boldIndex || boldIndex < 0))
                {
                    if (italicIndex > 0)
                    {
                        var t = temp.Substring(0, italicIndex);
                        formatString.Spans.Add(new Span() { Text = t });
                    }
                    temp = temp.Substring(italicIndex + 1);
                    var next = temp.IndexOf(italicFormat);
                    var t1 = temp.Substring(0, next);
                    formatString.Spans.Add(new Span() { Text = t1, FontAttributes = FontAttributes.Italic, FontSize = defaultFontSize });
                    temp = temp.Substring(next + 1);
                }
                else if (boldIndex >= 0)
                {
                    if (boldIndex > 0)
                    {
                        var t = temp.Substring(0, boldIndex);
                        formatString.Spans.Add(new Span() { Text = t });
                    }
                    temp = temp.Substring(boldIndex + 2);
                    var next = temp.IndexOf(boldFormat);
                    var t1 = temp.Substring(0, next);
                    formatString.Spans.Add(new Span() { Text = t1, FontAttributes = FontAttributes.Bold, FontSize = defaultFontSize });
                    temp = temp.Substring(next + 2);
                }
                else
                {
                    formatString.Spans.Add(new Span() { Text = temp, FontSize = defaultFontSize });
                    break;
                }
            }
            catch (Exception)
            {
                formatString = new FormattedString();
                formatString.Spans.Add(new Span() { Text = text, FontSize = defaultFontSize });
                break;
            }
        }
        return formatString;
    }

Note: Currently, I have added code bold and italic formats only. Need to extend it for the required markdown formats.
