markdown + usernames => unexpected behaviour
in a conversation just now, i tried to use markdown to italicise a particular word, using the following text:
@a_breakin_glass@cybre.space
(also, little voice inside my head thinking "maybe this will encourage people
pronouncing it properly instead of saying _raKEWdo_ ")
this rendered to:
with the first underscore in the username matching with the final one at the end of the text.
this seems like maybe a bug in the markdown implementation itself, since underscores inside a word ought not to be touched, but regardless it seems like maybe somehow discluding usernames entirely from the parsing would be a better solution (though that would probably get complicated quickly)
