Strong and em combination at different position of word inconsistency.

[AlexanderSergan]

Greetings!

I'd like to ask a question about correct and bugless em and strong composition. Le'ts assume we want to define strong and em marks at different parts of word:
***example*** -> example
ex***amp***le -> example
***exam***ple -> example
ex***ample*** -> example

I created small demo with different combinations of em marks (* and _) in markdownIt demo:
markdownIt demo
and commonmark demo

Looking at fact, that compilation results has such diversity, I'm curious if there is a right way to define such styling constructions in markdownIt?
Thanks for any clarification.

P.S.:

commonmark demo page:

By default reference (dingus) implementation has priority.

1. https://spec.commonmark.org/0.29/#emphasis-and-strong-emphasis - that's a right start point to read.
2. Since this repo is about implementation only, https://talk.commonmark.org/ is better place for questions about markup.

Of cause, divergence from reference implementation is not nice and should be fixed. I'd suggest you post your samples to spec repo, because it worth add those into official test cases.

@puzrin thanks for such quick reply. Please check out PR #562 if they are correct. Im new to this repo and I'm not sure if they are in correct place. Thanks.

It was changed in commonmark 0.29 (see commonmark/commonmark-spec@83ed53e). Should work now after updating code up to spec.
