Not sure what you mean.
We use the blackfriday Markdown library: https://github.com/russross/blackfriday
All versions of Markdown will treat two * in the same line as a desire to emphasise the text between them. Some parsers go further, and would emphasise multiple lines (ours doesn't).
mdcc_tester used two * in the same line, and so it was italicised.
None of the * in this comment are escaped, but if you did want to use two in one line without creating emphasise then you may escape one of them using a backslash
\*
So which behaviour is implemented?
