Some of the things I implemented are probably better left to voluntary nodelet hack apps.

I don't think choroba or Discipulus use */_ for emphasizing . (ask them?)

The casual user would rather prefer to select text and to click on a button.

But auto paragraphs and auto linking of internal and external http://address.es plus Mo::dul::es is fun.

Anyway, leaving it to a JS feature which can be individually activated and configured shouldn't be an issue in 2020.

edit

Especially as JS could also allow to preview in real time.

    I frequently use asterisks for emphasizing, rarely slashes. I've never used underscore.

        I _have_ used /all/ *three* and still do in some places; and support it in some of my own personal software. I don’t even remember where I picked up the habit… maybe it was some IRC client in the late 90s but I barely remember what I did yesterday so…
