Emphasis in GitHub Flavored Markdown

Emphasis begins and ends according to 17 rules in the specification, but here is a summary in three rules:

1. Use either asterisks or underscores to emphasize a character next to a space, punctuation, or the beginning or end of a line. Put an emphasis mark immediately next to a character, with no space between, as in _this!_ for this!

   • Exception. Special punctuation marks override this rule, including a backslash (\), backtick (`), and square brackets ([ ]) which cause an asterisk or underscore to be rendered as a character and ignored as an emphasis mark.

2. Use an asterisk to emphasize letters and numbers next to letters and numbers, as in *as*terisk for asterisk. By contrast, an underscore is not an emphasis mark between letters and numbers, as in not_italic.
