markdown uses asterisks for italics. 2 asterisks is bold 3 is italic and bold
I know. Underscores also work though for italics
That may be a lemmy specific way to markdown
It’s not Lemmy specific
Oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/#italic
Markdown has a core spec and then endless flavours. I assume what they’re saying Lemmy chose to not use underscore markup.
Underscores do not work inside a word (so my_long_identifier won’t accidentally become mylongidentifier, but _foo_ will become foo)
