There appear to be inconsistent conditions (regexps need work?) in
which emphasis is carried out. For example, the following are all
underlined:
_like this_.
_like this._
_like
this_.
_like
this._
Note especially the placement of `_' and `.'. By comparison,
sentences ending in `?' and `!' are not similarly graced:
_like this_?
_like this?_
_like
this_?
_like
this?_
Of these, only the 1st and 3rd should underline, because `?' isn't
part of the acceptable punctuation.
Neither is `,' which is why the following is not underlined:
_You mean, you actually see this sentence as
underlined_?
But remove the `,' and it's fine:
_You mean you actually see this sentence as
underlined_?
