Thank you for letting me back in, Discourse!

(But I do really like the realtime preview. Except afaik, star text star should be bold, and underscore text underscore should be italics.)
Noooo!
- *text* should be bold
- _text_ should be underlined!!!!!
- /text/ should be italic
Is there actually any markup language out there that gets this right?
Back on topic: welcome!
Edit: @presidentsdaughter said as much a few posts after where I was when I replied

Creole comes close, though it doesn't have a standard underline, and it uses double characters instead of single.

Confluence's variant does that. I hate it for other reasons though, especially their pseudo-WYSIWYG editor, which just loves to lose track of where styles start and end in strange ways…

sh_code:

except em and strong are semantic, as far as i know.

Does it also support[1] HTML, BBCode and MarkDown? If so, we should tell Jeff. I think Dicsourse would be a lot nicer if it supported another make-up[2] language in its editor.
[1] for approximate values of "support", obviously
[2] this came out when I tried to type markup. Leaving it, because it seems fitting

I think we all know there's only one system that supports all that
toxic hellstewmix of syntaxes natively…

spec.commonmark.org disagrees.

except that the spec suggests to treat both star and underscore the same way, so regardless whether you think emphasize should be bold or italic, the spec disagrees.

InB4: Yes.
Jerzy, is that you?
EDIT: Explanation: that was the name of a good friend of mine in my college days who would routine answer an option question that had 2 mutually exclusive possible answers (at least) with "Yes."
