This may be out of scope for this project, but snake_case currently will italicize case. I believe underscores should only create emphasis if they're surrounded by whitespace _like this_

Snarkdown:

Commonmark:

Ah for sure. The parser can probably be tweaked to fix this.

Actually hm, according to the original markdown post on daringfireball I think snarkdown's behavior here is correct. This might be a spec difference between commonmark and "traditional" markdown, I haven't yet read the commonmark spec on the subject to be sure.

If that is the case, I suppose it's up to you which one you want to support.

Regardless, thanks again! And no urgency on this or anything, of course.

I see the value of skipping foo_bar for sure.

It seems that single underscores in links are parsed too, which makes posting links difficult:

becomes

I think this is an actual issue, since the phrase is not wrapped per-se, it's a single occurrence.

Could reproduce this problem as well. Any plan to fix it soon?

Note that there is a lot of specifics in CommonMark that you may not want to implement in a single regex:

AS~~asdsa~~.   
AS_ASD_  
AS__ASD_  
AS*ASD**  
AS*ASD*     (x)  
AS*ASD  
**A*

A tiny library may ship with certain limitations.

Not wanting to implement every edge-case shouldn't prevent to handle common cases, right?

We can live with some differences with CommonMark, but breaking links due to a single underscore is a little harder to live with.

Can #101 be considered?
