Emphasis
To emphasize some text, surround it with *
s or _
, like this:
This text is _emphasized with underscores_, and this
is *emphasized with asterisks*.
Double *
or _
produces strong emphasis:
This is **strong emphasis** and __with underscores__.
A *
or _
character surrounded by spaces, or backslash-escaped, will not trigger emphasis:
This is * not emphasized *, and \*neither is this\*.
Because _
is sometimes used inside words and identifiers, pandoc does not interpret a _
surrounded by alphanumeric characters as an emphasis marker. If you want to emphasize just part of a word, use *
:
feas*ible*, not feas*able*.
