Facebook – How to do bold and italic formatting in Facebook Chat

facebookfacebook-messengermarkdown

A follow-up to Text formatting enhancements on Facebook, how does one create bold and italic formatting in Facebook chat? Is it possible to provide emphasis within messages?

I think (maybe I'm going mad) that this used to work, but it hasn't been working lately.
