foo bar
``` ``` a* foo bar* .a* foo bar*
``` ``` *foo bar * .*foo bar *
``` Unicode spaces don't block emphasis. ``` * a * .a
``` Intraword: ``` foo*bar*baz .foobarbaz
``` ``` _foo bar_ .foo bar
``` ``` _ foo bar_ ._ foo bar_
``` ``` _foo bar _ ._foo bar _
``` Unicode spaces don't block emphasis. ``` _ a _ .a
``` Intraword: ``` foo_bar_baz .foobarbaz
``` ``` aa_"bb"_cc .aa“bb”cc
``` ``` *foo_ .*foo_
``` ``` _foo* ._foo*
``` A line ending counts as whitespace: ``` _foo bar _ ._foo bar _
``` So does a tab: ``` _ a_ ._ a_
``` This one is different from commonmark: ``` _(_foo_)_ .(foo)
``` But you can force the second `_` to be an opener using the marker `{`. ``` _({_foo_})_ .(foo)
``` Note that an explicitly marked opener can only be closed by an explicitly marked closer, and a non-marked opener can only be closed by a non-marked closer: ``` {_ x_ _} _x_} .x_ _x_}
``` ``` _(*foo*)_ .(foo)
``` Overlapping scopes (first to close wins): ``` _foo *bar_ baz* .foo *bar baz*
``` Over line break: ``` _foo bar_ .foo bar
``` Inline content allowed: ``` *foo [link](url) `*`* .foo link *
___
``` Unless you escape it: ``` _\__ ._
``` No empty emph: ``` __ .__
``` ``` _}b_ ._}b_
``` ``` _\}b_ .}b
``` ``` _ab\_c_ .ab_c
``` ``` *****a***** .a
``` ``` _[bar_](url) .[bar](url)
``` ``` \_[bar_](url) ._bar_
``` Code takes precedence: ``` _`a_`b ._a_b
