[MuhammadMattiullah]

Code:
{ pattern: /\*\*([a-zA-Z]+)\*\*/g, style: styles.bold },

Input:
This is the **bold** text

Required Output:
This is the bold text

Please can someone tell me @jrichardlai @fbartho

@MuhammadMattiullah

add this in your json renderText: (matchingString, matches) => matches[1]

works to me

Depending on your pattern, it could be a different element in the array

{
   pattern: /(\*\*|__)(.*?)\1/,
   style: styles.bold,
   renderText: (matchingString, matches) => matches[2],
},

@MuhammadMattiullah both of the suggestions above would have been what I recommend for you.

I'm going to close this since there are ways to do what you ask, but if it doesn't work, please do comment back, and I'm happy to reopen it.

If you find a bug or have a PR, I'm working on a new release in #79
