Markdown Syntax: Italics inconsistencies for intra word underlines

[RickStrahl]

Looks like there's a slight issue with italic text in Markdown mode if there are underscores inside of words.

Try the following in Ace:

_Syntax_highlighting_and_rendering_not_consistent_for_intra_words_underscores_

Syntax_highlighting_and_rendering_not_consistent_for_intra_words_underscores_

The underscores are being applied outside of word boundaries, and should only be applied to word boundaries.

A workaround is to escape the underscore based string in a inline code block:

This is a constant `Syntax_highlighting_Error` and it renders properly.

which is what I would do, but several users of our tools actually flagged this issue at various times so apparently there is a use case for the funky syntax used. 😄 Linking the original reference in Markdown Monster that triggered this.
