Hello,
I believe that the recent fontification rules still need tweaking.
Here's a MWE:
=====
*bold*
=====
Here's a more detailed version:
=====
*bold*
^ above does not work
*bold* this works at the time of typing.
But on saving and doing =revert-buffer=, the fontification goes away.
This *bold* fontification stays (starting emph char *and* ending emph char not at BOL/EOL).
Looks like fontification is lost if emphasis chars are at BOL or EOL.
=====
It looks like this (attached).. notice that the *bold* fontification works only when the emph chars are neither at BOL nor at EOL. The same issue is with all emphasis variants: italics, code, verbatim.
