I have a very simple test set up and it doesn't seem to be picking up on emphasis at all. Am I configuring or using this wrong? It seems like a very basic use case.

I'm using the Nuget package in ASP.NET Core: Markdig.Markdown.ToHtml(markdown);

The markdown is ## Big heading\nHello this is some text on my page. **This bit is bold. **\n

The HTML I get back is <h2>Big heading</h2>\n<p>Hello this is some text on my page. **This bit is bold. **</p>\n

It is expected as per CommonMark specs: the space just before the trailing ** must be removed, you can try it here

## Big heading

Hello this is some text on my page. **This bit is bold.**
