If I try to run the code:

Case1: how can i use "_" to mark Italic

           string markdown="**Bold_Italic`InlineCode`_Bold**";
            var pipeline = new MarkdownPipelineBuilder()
                .UseEmphasisExtras()
                .UseAdvancedExtensions()
                .UseEmojiAndSmiley()
                .UseAutoLinks()
                .UseTaskLists()
                .UseMediaLinks()
                .Build();

            processedInlines.Clear();
            var text = Markdown.ToHtml(markdown, pipeline)

The result is: (But It's not what I want)

<p><strong>Bold_Italic<code>InlineCode</code>_Bold</strong></p>

I want

<p><strong>Bold<em>Italic<code>InlineCode</code><em>Bold</strong></p>

Case2: Why Can't I parse `**BoldItalicBold**` to right style？

AND if I use

 string markdown="**Bold*Italic`InlineCode`*Bold**"`;
            var pipeline = new MarkdownPipelineBuilder()
                .UseEmphasisExtras()
                .UseAdvancedExtensions()
                .UseEmojiAndSmiley()
                .UseAutoLinks()
                .UseTaskLists()
                .UseMediaLinks()
                .Build();

            processedInlines.Clear();
            var text = Markdown.ToHtml(markdown, pipeline)

It's give me the wrong result here:

<p>**Bold<em>Italic<code>InlineCode</code><em>Bold</em></em></p>

The rule is not easy and detailed in the spec in Emphasis and strong emphasis (left-flanking / right-flanking rules).

So both results are correct according to the specs.

You can verify that all other CommonMark engine are generating the same correct result here
