Never pet a burning dog.

…but I want it to be different. As I understand it, a span of italics within italics should be rendered as non-italic (and thus stand out).

I am aware that this…

> Do not eat **yellow** snow.

Do not eat yellow snow.

…but that’s not the effect I desire.

Thanks, cheers!

        Thank you!! I privately predicted that these two messages would appear and my example text would no longer depict the problem and that the fix would be a minor CSS change. All came true and it is very satisfying! Open source rocks!

        Update: Oh, I forgot another prediction that did not occur: that somebody would name the source of the sample texts off the top of their head… :)
