Readme.txt: Multiple underscores in words

[scribu]

This is related to Markdown syntax in plugin readme files.

Specifically, if you write this:

my_function_name()

You get this:

myfunctionname()

This should be fixed.

GitHub has already tackled this problem: ​GitHub Flavored Markdown

And reason you can't just put code examples in backticks?

+1 for fixing this.

Sometimes it is not natural - example from changelog of Enhanced Meta Widget plugin:

Added German (de_DE) and Danish (da_DK) language files.

renders as:

Added German (deDE) and Danish (daDK) language files.

[demetris]

Both

a_function_name()

and

Added German (de_DE) and Danish (da_DK) language files.

are handled right by PHP Markdown Extra.

Test here: ​http://michelf.com/projects/php-markdown/dingus/

Extra also has some nice additions, like support for definition lists, all of which work fine.

Maybe WP.org could switch to Markdown Extra?
