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_?
