Hey, i found a bug in the Markdown parser. See attached file. The gist is: if you use the '_' method of emphasis followed immediately by a long dash, '—', the Markdown parser doesn't correctly parse the emphasis. Using "*" emphasis works correctly.

See attached example.

    I'm not seeing this issue, at least in my dev version. Have you updated to the latest version of Marked? Also, are you creating the long dash directly, or via --- in the original document?

    I am adding the long dash directly. I am using whatever version of Marked is in the Mac App Store.

    Thanks,

    Sorry for the delayed reply, things got hectic after Macworld.

    The long dash character is probably throwing off the parser. Could you test with --- and see if you have similar issues?

    Yeah, that's a workaround.
