The simple way is - View source code - Copy and paste what you need - Bold can be easily added with <b> or <strong> tags
Use text editors in Summary Field
I have had a read of what Lando provides, and it's an excellent development tool, and it would solve the problem. But, I would prefer to find out why the problem is there in the first...

You might need to add a Relationship in the View to Flags. Or there might be a setting on the content type. I can't recall for certain but I think it's possible.

If it's in a field or a node body, you can use the Markdown text filter in this module:
