Support "_" in Markdown

Ok. Then this is a bug of markd, which doesn't follow the Markdown spec.

Of course, I know "*" (didn't I told you that I already use Markdown?)

What I meant is I want support of "_" in addition to "*". Normally, other platforms (GitLab, Disqus, Trello) support both "*" and "_" for italic. Even original Markdown spec also allow both (See Emphasis section). But don't understand why Quire doesn't follow it.

I personally prefer "_" to "*".

@Hong, it is on purpose as Crystal described.

Hi Hồng, We do not support _ as many of our users are developers and underscore is quite common.

Hi Hồng, We support “*” to mark text italic (aka *text*). Perhaps it would be good enough for you?

We decided to use underscore for underlining text. For example,

_text_ => text

Hi @tomyeh , of course I understand it's your software and you decide how to make it work. I just wanted to say that in most cases, it's better to go with the spec and add your own customizations.

Take a look at https://commonmark.org, I think you may somehow decide to go with a common implementation some day hahah.

Here it is: https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/markd.

Why not use a fully compatible Markdown lib? Then add whatever extras/customizations desired. Take a look at Stackedit's flavored Markdown, they even support Gantt charts via integration w/ other libraries.

Ok. Can I ask a question with little technical?

What library of Markdown that Quire developers use for building Quire?

I'm curious because, if Quire developers use some opensource libraries, it already supports the feature I request.
