Fwd: *emphasis* & **strong** markups not working with symbol chars at the inner closing end

[Vdragon]

(Forwarded from *emphasis* & **strong emphasis** markup not working under certain circumstances · Issue #459 · hackmdio/hackmd)

This issue can be reproduced when:

• A symbol_character is not at the end of the markup(symbol_character can either English or Chinese punctuation character, like colon:： and period.。)

AND

• Space character is not immediately after the markup

That works exactly as defined in commonmark spec, see reference implementation.

That's not a bug of this package. It's better ask at commonmark forum about known issues with asian languages group and their plains. As soon as spec will be changed, we will update logic too. But we can not diverge from spec in advance.
