Markdown Query : Using Emphasis
Should Markdown emphasis be detected when applied within quotes?

With the following text:

Code:
_emphasis not in quotes_

"_emphasis in quotes_"
The first line triggers <em> tags but not the second. I just wondered whether this is standard Markdown processing or calibre's implementation.

Update: I have just tested on the Markdown website and <em> is triggered whether inside or outside of quotes, so it seems to be a calibre difference.
