You can see in that the tags are improperly nested. Now, I can see an argument that Markdown shouldn't need to follow nesting conventions like HTML does, but the point stands that you have two overlapping tag sequences. (And in this case at least, I think it's also good English grammar - you're trying to italicize the name of the ship, not the start of the quote.) As John has already said, correcting the nesting will solve the issue: Shipname is in port for the next week. Or in Markdown: "*Shipname* is in port for the next week." Daniel T.
