Emphasis with `_`

[David Herren]

Wordpress 1.5.1 (I haven't yet updated to 1.5.1.x) and the version of  
Markdown that ships with WP1.5.1. My example wasn't clear. Try this  
in a post (I haven't tested in comments):

[http://www.domain.com/this_file_name.html](http://www.domain.com/ 
this_file_name.html)

The word "file" will appear in italics without the display of the  
underscores.

Now _I_ know that I could do this:

<http://www.domain.com/this_file_name.html>

but not all of my users (a high school web site) know this. It was  
all I could do to train them in the first syntax...
