Hiding markup elements in org-mode

elispemacsmarkuporg-mode

There are plenty structural markup elements in org-mode like *bold* or /italic/, but they are visible in the org-mode text, which is good, if the file is intended for export, and bad, if it is intended for semi-WYSIWYG editing. I want to hide these markup symbols, so the *bold* becomes bold, just like links hide their square brackets.

Is that possible in org-mode out of the box? If not, then please suggest an elisp code, that can solve this problem.
