See https://orgmode.org/worg/org-syntax.html#Emphasis_Markers
Note that Org is not context-free. Within Org AST elements that can
contain objects, the first match "wins":
1. Org looks at a text and searches the first matching object regexp
2. Everything before the match is considered plain-text
3. Everything inside the match is considered the matched object and then
   parsed recursively
4. go to (1)
