  - `text` string, required — The Markdown text to render in HTML.
  - `mode` 'markdown' | 'gfm' — The rendering mode.
  - `context` string — The repository context to use when creating references in `gfm` mode. For example, setting `context` to `octo-org/octo-repo` will change the text `#42` into an HTML link to issue 42 in the `octo-org/octo-repo` repository.
