Chapter 4: Template literals -Pass a function inside a template literal
// display all our groceries in a p tag, the last one will include all the one from the array **others**

It appears that the "**others**" part in the comment of the JavaScript source was just printed out
while trying to express it in bold in Markdown syntax.
Is that right?
Yes, you are correct. The comment in the JavaScript source code appears to be an attempt to emphasize the word "others" by making it bold, as you would in Markdown syntax. However, in JavaScript comments, you cannot apply formatting like you can in Markdown or rich text editors, so the comment text "others" was simply printed as is, without any formatting applied.
github issues supports Markdown, so it just appeared in bold. It has been edited to look like the original.
Actually, I bought a paper book, and it could have been written in bold, but it came out in Markdown like **, so I was trying to ask about the author's intention.
