I don't think this is a problem with Markdig. but it is part of the CommonMark specs. They changed recently the emphasis rules. As you can check on babelmark, all CommonMark compliant parsers are reporting the same output.

I had reviewed the spec prior to submitting, but I must have misunderstood it. I suppose it would fall under this example?

http://spec.commonmark.org/0.28/#example-333

I'll work around this then.

I'm having trouble finding where *Internet* **:** WiFi with a space is specified?

Thanks!
