Where has my __emphasis__ gone?

edit :: Hmmm. You might want to use the contact link to see if Ben or Andrew will see what is showing up in the database.

IT’S GONE? WHERE?!

…no where, apparently.

I guess someone is messing with you

It’s just 1 underscore at the beginnig and end. (:

__test__

Wait… Are you doing double underscores? It is only one. You use doubles for whisper.

@johnpowell I think that’s the thing!

The first was with one underscore; the second was with two but they both displayed in live preview as italics. And you use hyphens for whisper. But I think you’re both right and maybe sometimes I am using two underscores and that’s when it goes off.

__test__ (With two, displayed italics in preview)

Thanks!

@janbb the italics are the emphasis
I think you did them in your previous post.

Oh – I know the italics are the emphasis; that’s what I’m looking for but not getting consistently. Now I see why.

But it does seem like a bug that it displays it as italics in live preview and not in reality when you double underscore.

@janbb Part of the problem is that when there are a few mismatches in the live preview and what actually gets put into the database.

The discrepancy is due to the fact that javascript doesn’t have as powerful tools for us to deal with text, and thus gets very confused in certain situations.

@andrew I would certainly hate to confuse javascript. Thanks for the explanation!
